It’s another primetime affair for the Steelers against a division foe.
By this point in the season, the Bengals should be a much better-rounded team, while the Steelers are a team with a struggling ground game and the lack of weapons for Roethlisberger will prove to be a problem.
That being said, the Steelers will really need this one.
Someone on the defense will make a game-changing play late and the Steelers will keep their playoff hopes alive for the time being.
Prediction: Steelers 24-23 (8-6)
