Inside pressure on Ben will be a big key. His left leg is the one that's injured, which means he will already have a tough time driving through his throws and keeping the ball down. Keep pressure in his face and keep him throwing off his back foot to get some pick opportunities on overthrows. Both Pouncey and Beachum are done for the year, so Bengals DL vs Steelers OL should be a matchup heavily in our advantage.
Red zone defense will also be big. The Steelers will get yards, but some teams have been able to hold them to a low scoring output. Making quick tackles to limit the damage they do with pick plays is another key.
Biggest key is taking care of the ball on offense. It seems like almost every time we lose to the Steelers, we lose the turnover battle. In fact, early turnovers have allowed the Steelers to put the game out of reach in the first half.
