Steelers-Bengals

Steelers beat Cincy 24-13. Good division road win after the tough sunday night loss at denver. The offense looked very very good, with the exception of the INT that Big Ben threw in the 2nd half. The defense on the other hand was not all that great. Yes, they only gave up 13. But, no sacks, only one (very key) turnover, and allowed Cincy several long long drives. Only once did they get a 3 and out. And Kenny Watson may have reached 100 yards if not for the great play by James Harrison to strip him of the ball in the 4th quarter. That play basically sealed the game up.

The schedule lines up extremely well for the Steelers. Ravens on MNF at home next week, followed by the Browns at home. Then a road trip to play the Jets. Followed by two more home games against the Dolphins (MNF) and Bengals (tentatively scheduled for SNF). They will be favored to win all 5 of those. We shouldn't look ahead, but if they pull out those 5, then they would be 10-2 going into the battle against the Patriots. Dare we dream?

Would like the Steelers to remain under the radar, but at least some folks are speaking nationally. Check out this piece from SI: http://www.fannation.com/blogs/post/72497
