2) Flacco quickly improved in the first beginning
Joe Flacco started predictably starting a game for Bengals within five days after being traded from Browns, and fought predictably in the first four Bengals offers. But after half, he finished 21 of 30 transmissions in 179 meters and fourth and a mark, for example, to scare the daylight of Packers in Green Bay. Tee Higgins had his best game of the season. Ja’marr Chase became alive and reached for example in the fourth quarter. All the operation moved as well as it has (even with three Andrei Iosivas drops) since before Burrow was injured. With Joey Porter Jr. Back in the game system, Steelers should have the full game of corner kicks to defend the talented broad Bengals. Porter, Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey should see plenty of Chase and Higgins, who believe that once again the main goals with Mike Gesick on IR, Tanner Hudson with injury and Iosivas are not inspiring confidence.
3) Steelers defense makes progress with passing
Pittsburgh’s defense started the season slowly but has closed in the form of the last three games. Steelers have 20 sacks in 2025, of which six a week 6. Bengals have allowed 16 sacks in 2025, but with Flacco in the squad last week they gave up time inflammation to Packers. TJ Watt is the best-known Sackmaster Steelers, but pay attention to his front bag, Nick Herbig, who has 4.5 sack-all over the past three weeks. Even with Flacco below the center, figures on protection protection cincinnati are a major concern. The Bengals have expressed their most pressure from the edges, where OTS Orlando Brown and Amarius mimic the bit of conscience. Brown only allowed Bengals bag last week on rapid pressure in the Red region, but Mims has played better for the last two games after a difficult outing against Denver. The Bengals have not run the ball for more than 85 meters per game this season, so this would be an ideal place for Chase Brown and the running game to help to balance things.
