With the Bengals coming out of their bye in Week 7, the second half of the season is now officially underway for the undefeated ACF North leaders. They face their division rivals this week in the Pittsburgh Steelers, but my guess is the game won’t be as close as we thought when the season first started.
It’s almost a certainty that Ben Roethlisberger plays this week, pushing Landry Jones back to the bench. Jones was promoted to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, ahead of Michael Vick. Big Ben obviously adds a whole different dimension to the Steelers passing game, one they have been desperately missing under Jones and Vick.
