Honest Assessment of the Steelers

[*psychdoctor*]

The defense was banged up. Blatant holds on Bengal's defensive line. A clear illegal pick toward the end of the game; which may have put the Steeler's out of FG range for their kicker plus a run off of 10 second penalty.

Bengals are in first place. I know there are problems on defense, and the WR choked not holding on seemingly easily passes by Dalton. Nevertheless, the Bengals are just as good if not better than the Steelers.

Bengals have major issues at backer and safety. They also cannot solve the conundrum of covering TE to save their life. Still work to do for sure. I can see the Bengals going into their house and beating them. They need Ross and Price back though.
