The well-advertised backstory is grim for the Bengals when it comes to January football.
Four consecutive postseason berths have led to four straight playoff losses for a Marvin Lewis-led team desperately looking to flip the script on Saturday night. "It's time to right the ship," Lewis told reporters. "You know, exorcism."
That's what makes this matchup tricky for Cincinnati. After roaring out to an 8-0 start and winning the AFC North weeks ago, the Bengals are 4-4 over their last eight games and facing a team that has largely owned them inside the division for years. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin holds a 13-5 advantage in games against Lewis, with Pittsburgh winning four of the last five.
The Steelers are seen by many as the favorite because they'll roll out Ben Roethlisberger, while the Bengals are saddled with AJ McCarron. It's a no-brainer, right? Wrong. These Bengals bring a defense to the table that ranks second in the NFL in points allowed (17.4), a mere tenth of a point behind The Legion of Boom.
Besides, Big Ben has been all over the map of late, tossing two-plus picks in three-straight games for the first time since 2006. The turnovers are concerning, especially with running back DeAngelo Williams day-to-day with an ankle sprain. Roethlisberger, though, has the ability to explode at any time -- making this offense very tough to prepare for.
