Burrow can move around no doubt but not as elusive and not as accurate on the run as Murray ... nothing against Burrow but Murray behind our line has a better chance for sure.

"So tough." Whatever. Seems hurt every other series and comes back.

Without the roughing the passer penalty (terrible call IMO) against the Cowboys late, I think the Steelers lose that game.  They're not all that and can be defeated.

Joe Burrow is 0-0 vs the Steelers.  He's doesn't carry that baggage with him and I think he gives us a decent chance.  I expect to see them win this one.  Probably the biggest game of the year for this young team.  

I think they'll be ready.

Giants
Broncos
Texans
Eagles
Browns
Titans
Ravens
Cowboys

A lot of mediocre teams on their undefeated run. Not saying we will win, but their most impressive wins were Ravens and Titans who we beat.

I’m interested to see how it goes. We need to pressure Ben and not let him sit around in the pocket like we let rivers do. Tough ask!

I still have a feeling they might win this game, even though there are clearly lots of reasons to think otherwise.

(winning teams = teams that finished with winning record)

First of all most people don't realize that during the Marvin Era only 5 teams (Phi, Ind, Den, Pitt, NE) had more wins against winning teams than the Bengals 42, but look at the breakdown of the Bengals and Steelers wins.

Bengals had 38 wins against winning teams other than Steelers.
Steelers had 38 wins against winning teams other than Bengals.

Bengals had 4 wins against Steelers when they finished with a winning record.
Steelers had 19 wins against Bengals when they finished with a winning record.

ONE THIRD of all of the Steelers wins against winning teams (19 of 57) came against just ONE TEAM, the Bengals.  They were not that much better than us, but they absolutely owned us.

No prob, you false started and get to kick it again. Steelers player is facemasking a Dallas player? Call the Dallas player for unsportman like conduct when he flails around trying to get it to stop. Dallas is driving and gets a completion for a big play? Call Dallas for an illegal formation because a tackle was too far off the line even though every other team would get a warning first.
