This Sunday, the Steelers will host the 2-10 Arizona Cardinals the following Thursday, they'll host the 2-9 New England Patriots. ![]() The Steelers must take advantage of these approaching weaklingsĪs I mentioned last week, the next couple of teams on Pittsburgh’s schedule are in no way menacing. Yet even if we were to, the Steelers should be able to rest easy knowing that they’ll have decent opportunities to extinguish such heartache in their coming games. ![]() While that low score was enough to conquer a weak Cincinnati offense, it would be reckless to assume that it’s an adequate output to shoot for on a consistent basis.īut again, this is the first game to see the Pittsburgh offense under new management, and especially with it following a loss to a clearly beatable Cleveland (which had ruined a then-perfect record in divisional play), I don’t think we’re going to see much rioting in the Steel City over it. Now I understand that it is quite easy to get caught up in such a rejuvenating rivalry win, but it's also important to remember that the Steelers offense once again failed to experience the full breakthrough we’ve been waiting an eternity for, as all of their yardage resulted in just a 16-10 win.

The Steelers finished the game with 421 total yards to their name, almost exactly 200 more than the Bengals. In what can be considered nothing less than a gift from the football gods, Pittsburgh unleashed an offensive performance on Cincinnati so dominant that many yinzers likely grew lightheaded just witnessing it. ![]() I was one of the many happy campers that came from the news of Steelers OC Matt Canada finally getting the boot, and we were all hopeful that there would be at least a gradual rise in their overall formidability as a result-but I don’t think anyone expected what we ended up getting.
