The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals in a major early AFC North showdown, with Cincinnati trying to remain undefeated while Pittsburgh looks to draw even in the division.
In this Week 3 preview, I’m breaking down the AFC North picture, including what Ravens vs. Cowboys and Browns vs. Panthers could mean for Pittsburgh. We’ll also go through the latest Steelers and Bengals injuries, the early struggles of the Steelers offense with Aaron Rodgers, and what Pittsburgh has to do defensively against Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and the Bengals offense.
I’ll also get into the challenge of handling Dexter Lawrence and Cincinnati’s pass rush, why Chris Boswell and special teams could play a major role, my 3 Keys to Victory, and my final score prediction.
Can Pittsburgh defend home field and grab early control of the AFC North, or will Cincinnati walk out of Pittsburgh at 3-0?
