Bengals @ Steelers predictions

However, I do gotta point out that the Steelers coaching staff have been ... underwhelming to put it mildly. Case-in-point: going against the Chiefs without their best offensive weapon and arguably their top receiving threat and you have a very inexperienced QB starting, but a fantastic RB, so you'd think they would run the ball more, right? Nope. Bell was tearing it up, too, yet they only called his number 17 times and had Landry throw it over 29 times (not sure how many times he was sacked).

Regardless of everything that I've said, it IS our game to lose.

But that's exactly the kind of scenario this team has to overcome if they want to be on the elite level.  I'm betting they overcome it and win it in a close one.
