The Bengals got a huge break with Watt and Truitt both out .The question becomes is can the OL and the offense take advantage.
I never feel good when the Bengals go into Pittsburgh, but if Higgins plays, I think our offense could do enough to win today. ZIf so, it would be a win no one predicted when the schedule came out.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
Beat them like we did at end of year.. run the ball and zero turnovers... would love to see 20 to 25 carries from Mixon, setup playaction, Burrow is not that mobile so that gives him a little more time, that will open up the field a bit more ... We don;t need 30 passes to beat Steelers if we can control the line on the run, eat up clock and turnover free plus on defense stay away from big plays...
