I would love to see the bengals, if they score a touchdown, to do a celebration mocking Ju Ju fumbling and crying last week
Man...Pitt is bad.
I mean, kudos for the last men standing in a Bengals uniform after all the injuries, but the Steelers really, really struggled to put away a very bad Bengals team.
There are flashes of the old Ben, but far and away, too often, he is not very good. The defense is smoke and mirrors. The end is nearer than, I think, many will want to admit. That team is one major injury away from a 5 win season.
What's funny is how the national media decided that Pittsburgh didn't really need Le'veon Bell.... As if he wasn't a difference maker on their team. I think they missed him a ton - He was good for taking over a few games per year and he changed how defenses played them. That offense yesterday really struggled against a unit that was just shredded by Baker Mayfield the week before.
They would have been better with Bell but they still finished 4th in yards and 6th in points over the course of the season.
It's tough to manage a salary cap if your QB, WR and RB all make elite money and for the Steelers the one to let go from that group would be Bell imo. It is odd that they didn't trade him when it was obvious he wasn't going to report.
Pittsburgh wasn't even trying and still beat the Bengals. they had no motivation, they were pretty much out of the playoffs already.
