In another physical, intense rivalry matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday at Heinz Field, the Pittsburgh Steelers and their ever-improving defense came through with another impressive display of tackling in a 29-14 win.
Much like last season in Cincinnati when the Steelers missed just five total tackles in a 24-20 win last December, the Steelers stood tall in the tackling department on Sunday, coming up with key open-field tackles and applying serious pressure off the edges to fluster Andy Dalton and the Bengals’ attack.
