Our last five have combined for 43 wins with a scoring margin of +35
Steelers have a good run- but ours has been against better competition and with a higher scoring margin.
There is no reason to fear them. We hung 37 on them in their place without Chase and without Mixon for most of the game.
I won't fear the Steelers as long as Burrow lives and is in stripes, but I'm also going to admit that I'm not too wild about seeing them going from 2-6 to 8-8 with a rookie QB. If we are going to rag on folks for doubting the 2022 Bengals when they were 4-4 it's only fair to admit that our glee that the Steelers were going to finally have that 4 win season we've been waiting for decades was also a bit premature.
I'm not afraid of the Steelers, it'd just be nice if they actually sucked for a change. I'll bet on the Bengals winning the AFC North in 2023 if you like, but at the same time I'll admit we had a head-start on the Steelers this year that we might not get next year.
