The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to open up their 2022 regular season against their divisional rivals. Last season, the Super Bowl-bound Cincinnati Bengals dominated Mike Tomlin’s squad, sweeping the regular season pair of matchups. As far as Sunday’s meeting goes, securing the football and controlling the game clock are going to be pivotal, according to Tomlin on The Mike Tomlin Show earlier today.
In both instances last season, the Bengals found ways to exploit several weaknesses. In the November clash, Joe Mixon obliterated Pittsburgh’s run defense while Joe Burrow picked them apart for three passing touchdowns in the prior game in September.
