Changing of the guard?? Bengals vs Steelers
I sure didn't see this one coming!! This time of the year is Steeler time, right?? They have played .500 ball during Sept and Oct the past 4 seasons, but "turn it on" in Nov and Dec to the tune of 24-8 record over that same period. What's even a bigger shock is how the Bengals won...smothering defense!! They held the potent Steelers offense to 80 yards on the ground and forced Big Ben to a 50% completion day, 174 yards, 1 int and ZERO touchdowns. The Steelers have been known to win these type of grind it out games where they always are the team who gets the big play that changes the outcome of the game. not this time!! The Bengals outplayed the Steelers in every aspect of the game and got the big play in a 96 yard kickoff return by Benard Scott. So where do these two teams go from here?? The Bengals have what has to be the easiest 3 game stretch in the history of football...Raiders, Browns and Lions. I fully expect the Bengals to be sitting at 10-2 after there Dec 6 game against the Lions. The Steelers have the Chiefs, Ravens and Raiders over there next 3 games. That Sunday night game against the Ravens on Nov 29 is going to be a huge game as both teams are going to be battling for those tough to come by wild cards!! My prediction (I really hope) is that we get to see the Steelers and Bengals run it back in January when it really counts!!
