The Steelers are going to have a huge division matchup that could turn into an almost must win if they want to keep pace with the division leading Bengals. One aspect the Steelers do have going for them is the fact the defense woke up in the game against Atlanta and that could be a problem for the Bengals offense as they struggled against the Dolphins to get going.

The Steelers have managed to get a total of 321 yards a game in the air, but the rushing attack has come to life quite a bit as well with a total of 84 yards a game, which is low, but not that bad. The Steelers offense is scoring at a clip of 28.6 points a game, but the defense is giving up 26.6 points per game.
The Bengals should be happy the defense actually showed up to help them in the last game. The Bengals offense was anemic and for the most part missing as the defense managed to score 2 touchdowns that helped to bring the win home over the Dolphins. The downside is against the Steelers the Bengals will need the offense to show up as well.

Offensively the Bengals passing attack is getting 272.2 yards a game with a rushing attack that has been able to gain 95.4 yards per game. The Bengals are averaging 30.6 points a game, but the defense is giving up 26 points a game.

The Steelers have a good offense that has been able to control most of the defenses they have faced so far this year. However, the Bengals defense is playing at a high level and after getting a couple of scores to help the team win against the Dolphins will be coming in off of a high. The problem is the Bengals cannot catch the ball and have a tendency to turn it over quite a bit. Look for the Steelers to win based off of that difference. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Steelers win as the underdog 24-20.
