If they can stop Bell we win easily. They are 27th against the pass. Green, Jones, and Eifert could have a field day.
This is an often overlooked aspect of this upcoming game. Last year, we played the Steelers pretty close with only Green in those games. Now we have Jones and Eifert as well, so don't sleep on the Bengals being able to move the ball.
Defensively, we have our weak areas, but we still seem to have a solid Defense overall. I do believe we got caught off guard against Bryant and that we will game plan better to neutralize him. Brown is still the most dangerous player they have. He doesn't seem to be coverable and he is always a threat on STs (where all of his TDs have come against us). Atkins and MJ was also out of the lineup last season and again, we played the Steelers close (don't be fooled by the final score in the 1st game), we can win this game no matter who is playing for the Steelers.
