Men lie, women lie but the numbers don’t. The most glaring number is the big, fat zero that lies in the win column for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams are 0-3 and it is very likely that one of these teams emerge with their first victory of the season after Monday’s game (though with the way both teams have played this season, a tie would not surprise me).
While this Monday’s matchup may not interest many casual football viewers, this game could not have bigger implications for the Steelers. At 0-3, there is still a glimmer of hope for the season but an 0-4 start would pretty much bury any chance for a resurgence.
