There was one positive take away from the debacle in Chicago. The new personnel came to play defense this year. As of right now the Bengals have the 6th ranked defense in the NFL. While we could sink to 7 if Green Bay shuts the Lions down, we’ll still have a top 10 defense going into week 3.
Sunday afternoon we face a bottom 10 offense in Pittsburgh. With that said, it’s still the Steelers. They’ll be out for blood over the embarrassing loss that led to a downward spiral last year. Still, Big Ben isn’t what he used to be. This is an opportunity for this defense to establish itself as a top unit in the NFL. Will the Bengals defense maintain its top ten status, or was it just fortunate to have Dalton tweak his ankle?
