They still haven't given the nod to Landry. I don't see him playing this week, but some are saying it's possible.

We might have just played the 2 Super Bowl teams back to back games, with upcoming games a little easier than that. 

The only hope for the Bengals is the Steelers are one of the worst ranked pass defenses this year. How that translates into actual play, I'm not sure as I haven't watched many of their games. They fall towards the bottom on yards, but they're middle of the pack on getting scored on through the air.

On the other hand, the Pats were supposed to have a bad pass defense and we proved that one wrong.
