Here are the Steelers causes for concern this week against the Bengals in week 10
Arguably the Steelers’ biggest takeaway from their close week nine win was that the team is in fact not invincible. What should have been a blowout on paper turned into one of the closest games of the season so far. It just goes to show, no game in the NFL is ever certain, no matter how big the perceived gap in talent is between the two teams.
This week, a similar narrative is going, as the Bengals, while improved from last year, are still dwelling at the bottom of the AFC North. While the talent seems to favor the Steelers, this team showed last week that it doesn’t matter who is favored on paper as the game can go in a wide variety of ways. The talent difference in the NFL isn’t as big as it may seem, and any team is capable of winning due to the top-level talent that is being fielded.
Because of this, there are plenty of causes for concerns for the Steelers this week against the Bengals. Divisional matchups are always more physical and tougher wins, and this week likely won’t be much different. While the Steelers are clear favorites this week, it doesn’t mean that they will have a walk in the park with this new look Bengals. This game will be tougher than many think, and it shouldn’t be a surprise if the Steelers are fighting to preserve their undefeated record.
With all of this said, here are four causes for concerns for the Steelers week 10 matchup against the Bengals.
