They were clearly the better team for being able to take 2 of 3 and advance further. This is why they're ranked higher.
The two times Pitt beat the Bengals they were going against QB2. The one time they went against the Bengals with QB1 they lost. Those 2 games they were better, because the competition dropped as a backup started.
The Bengals won the division last year. Overall, they were the better team when they had their parts. Saying that the Steelers were better than the Bengals with AJM at the helm, of course they were. With Andy Dalton at the helm, absolutely not.
