The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers played, things went very wrong on Thursday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns, leading to a frustrating 24-19 loss that ended a five-game winning streak.
The loss raised questions about the Steelers’ long-term viability this season, with many believing the falloff is coming down the stretch.
The good news is that the Steelers get a chance to right the ship immediately within the division, taking on the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. The Bengals are 4-7, and while they have an elite-level offense, their defense is among the league’s worst. That could — and should — work in the Steelers’ favor.
