The Pittsburgh Steelers walk into their Week 1 divisional clash with the Cincinnati Bengals with a little more motivation behind them after the events that transpired last season.
Cincinnati swept Pittsburgh in the regular season, winning their first matchup at Pittsburgh 24-10 and took the Steelers to the woodshed on their home turf later in the year by a score of 41-10. The Cincinnati offense looked unstoppable in the second matchup as Pittsburgh couldn’t stop Joe Mixon on the ground or Joe Burrow and his receivers through the air while their own offense sputtered, failing to do more than dink and dunk their way down the field as the Bengals defense forced Ben Roethlisberger into multiple turnovers.
