Steelers Game Prediction Thread

If Zac Taylor wants to win he’ll have to game plan around the Steelers’ strengths: Pass rush and deep coverage. What works against defenses like this are draw plays, short play action passes, and shallow crossing routes. Running inside the tackles is counterproductive because those are the same lanes the pass rush comes from.

However, this game will be decided by Lou Anarumo and the defense. Pressure on Pig Pen is a must along with limiting Najee Harris out of the backfield. The Steelers have good receivers as always so the Bengals’ secondary cannot let any one of them get over the top; Pig Pen will complete lots of passes so the strategy is to tackle effectively and limit Yards After Catch.
