Our QB won't be pressured as much because of the OL.
Their QB is worse than Ben was, even as old as he was.
Their OL is worse than ours was last year.
We stack 8 in the box.
Tomlin never has had to develop a new QB. The last vestiges of Cowher (Ben) are now all gone.
The old story of "well it's the Steelers" doesn't mean what everyone thinks it does today. Regardless of what they say, they're knee deep in a rebuild.
Bengals 38-Steelers 12
Who is their QB coach again? This could have a lot to do with how well Pickett is developed.
Also, Ben was pretty bad last season and they upgraded their OL. Not near as much as we did, but they did.
I could see a score similar to what you say here if Hochuli wasn't the ref and they called it fair but he won't.
It will be closer than that pretty sure just cause of the no calls and bad calls Hochuli and the refs make.
