This is a Charles Atlas game. Yes the Steelers have dominated the series including in Cincinnati, but Pittsburgh always had the better team. Now after years of getting sand kicked in their face, the Bengals are the better team.

Center Maurkice Pouncey out for already shaky OL and not much of a running game. Roethlisberger clearly back to middle of pack among NFL QBs. He is not breaking tackles with ease he did two years ago. Big play threat Mike Wallace in Miami. Since starting last season 6-3, the Steelers have lost six of their past eight regular-season games. They are only 1-4 with Benji a meaningless Week 17 win at home against Cleveland.

Pittsburgh rushing 15 times for a measly 32 yards (2.1 average). Bengals off tough loss, but more motivation to rout Steelers

Unlike Pittsburgh, Bengals pretty unscathed. Cincy is the better team, more healthy, and finally have a chance to get revenge on team that has owned them over the years.
