The Bengals head to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers just before Christmas. In the game tonight against the Colts Trubisky got the benchisky and was replaced by Rudolph the 3rd string reindeer. Wonder who will start for them.
Make your final score predictions.

Announcers were saying Kenny Pickett may well be back to face the Bengals.

I predict dirty plays by the Tomlin crew.

Their target was against Seattle, and from all accounts that is still a risky proposition for his surgery.

In all honesty, that might be exactly why Tomlin made the change at the end. They were realistically too far out of it, so make a switch and say nothing all week to force a division opponent to prepare for two different players.

I’m worried about Dionte Johnson (beast), Pickens and Freiermuth bc TE’s usually shred us.
We are the better team though but need our D to show up big.
Wouldnt hurt for someone to slow Watt down too.

Maybe? He's still a poor man's Andy Dalton, though. Only 13 TDs to 13 INTs in his career, in 446 attempts. In this era, that's a bottom tier QB.

For the first time all season the Cincinnati Bengals are no longer last in the AFC North. A win over Pissburgh next week would go a long way toward securing a postseason berth.

Whether it's the Bengals or anybody, I just love to see the Steelers lose. Today's Colt's game was really fun.

They could be really thin in the defensive backfield. Minkah Fitzpatrick has a knee injury and Damontae Kazee was ejected. But this will make the 4th or 5th time he will be facing NFL justice for unnecessary roughness and headhunting. He leads the league in fines. It would not surprise me if he gets at least a game suspension. Of course, these are the Steelers so who knows if Goodell and company will actually do it.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

Without Chase and DJ it might be a hard task to defeat the Steelers at home. Not to mention ,they have the Bengals number over the past years. Hate to say but I see a loss here with a cornered Steeler team.
24-14 Steelers.

The Steelers offense is horrifiicly awful, our run defense today was garbage. Hopefully we can figure it out without Reader.

Chase is out? I haven’t seen any updates?
I love Reader but they did a great job filling his spot today. The next man up mentality in Bengal-land has been impressive.

I've never looked up his stats before. I expected better with as much as Steelers fans puffed him up before the season.
