Those two might be the best quarterback and wide receiver connection we’ve ever seen.

Gio Bernard should see a lot more time than Jeremy Hill in this one because the Steelers proved last week that their run defense is very solid. “Just do that and I think we’ll have a good chance of stopping them”. It’s fine for him, but the Bengals’ run defense already looked suspect against Matt Forte.
What went wrong last week? Furthermore, the Jets completely controlled the clock, finishing with a time of possession of 34:53, compared to 25:07 for Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Bengals are a seriously confusing situation. While two of Cousins’ throws ended up in the arms of guys in a different colored jersey – momentum-turning plays that served as the fuel for an eventual blowout – Cousins passed for 329 yards and his jersey didn’t even get dirty. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will again be without running back Le’veon Bell, but DeAngelo Williams, who ran for 143 yards and two touchdowns in Bell’s place, will look to exploit any holes in the Bengals’ backfield. Green did it all as he made plays deep down the field, hurt the Jets underneath, and made spectacular grabs. WR Markus Wheaton, who missed the Redskins game with a shoulder injury, was a full participant in practice Wednesday and said he feels much better than last week.
Though a straight up knucklehead, it’s obvious that the Bengals are missing the fire that Vontaze Burfict lights under them.
In the late afternoon, the game to watch is Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts facing Von Miller and the Denver Broncos. Andy Dalton completed 23 of 30 passes for 366 yards and one touchdown against one interception.
The Bengals are one of the best teams in the National Football League again this season, but no one knows if they squandered their last best chance to break that playoff losing streak. “That’s key and we just have to keep it moving forward”. Visiting the Washington Redskins on “Monday Night Football”, the Steelers scored 38 points, more than any AFC team in Week 1.
-Steelers WR Antonio Brown vs. Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick. That’s right, the New York Jets. “You have two like-minded teams that have the same vision of how their season needs to unfold, and it makes these matchups significant ones”.
For the most part, members of the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers played nice all week, downplaying the simmering rivalry between their AFC North clubs. Pittsburgh handed Cincinnati a loss in the playoffs last season with a score of 18-16. Many analysts are picking the Steelers to make it to the Super Bowl this year and they are favored by 3.5 points over the Bengals this week.

Williams joined the others that were on the inactive last week: tight end Tyler Eifert, wide receiver Cody Core, guard Christian Westerman, and quarterback Jeff Driskel.
