4 biggest causes of concern Steelers vs. Bengals in Week 15

Here are the Steelers four primary causes for concern against the Bengals

Funnily enough, all of the causes for concern ended up coming up last week in the loss to the Bills except for the defensive injuries being that impactful. This week, the Steelers are in a much better position to pull out a win, as the Bengals are one of the worst teams in the league due to the litany of injuries they have suffered. The Steelers haven’t been playing elite football either though, and at this point, no game will be a cakewalk. Here are four causes for concern with the Steelers vs. the Bengals in week 15.

Looking ahead

While the Bengals will certainly be the worst team that the Steelers play from here on out, it would be unwise for the team to look past the Bengals. Both the Colts and Browns will be far more difficult opponents, but that doesn’t mean the Steelers can just prepare for those games while expecting to win this. Despite their struggles, the Bengals do have some quality players on their roster.

Even more so, the idea that one team at the NFL level is completely superior to other teams is silly. Sure, there are better teams than others, but all of these players have made it to the pros, and that means they are some of the top athletes in the world. Some rosters are better than others, but no NFL roster is completely devoid of talent. The Steelers need to be ready for this game, as a win here gives the Steelers the division. The other games can be focused on in the future, but this week needs to be dedicated to beating the Bengals.
