The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers faced the Cincinnati Bengals, they had an ugly defensive performance. The unit allowed the Bengals to both run and throw all over them, and they suffered a demoralizing loss after starting the year 4-1.
That started a slide for the Steelers. They’ve now lost three of their last four, with that Thursday night game being the catalyst. Now, they get a chance at revenge, hosting Cincinnati this week. Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expecting the Steelers to look much better against Joe Flacco and the Bengals than they did the first time around.
