4 toughest opponents on Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 schedule

Cincinnati will cause headaches for the Steelers just like last year

The Cincinnati Bengals came close to shocking the NFL world and winning the Super Bowl. They made it all the way to the big dance, but they ended up losing to the Los Angeles Rams. It was a hard-fought game and these young guns in the jungle got great experience.

Not many people thought the Bengals would win the AFC North division, let alone make it the whole way to the Super Bowl. They proved everyone wrong and found a way to overcome adversity and add some much-needed experience to this young club. Everyone sees them as a juggernaut now that will dominate the NFL for years to come, and rightfully so.

This is a young and impressive team that seems like they will only get better if Joe Burrow and company keep their offense open for business. They have great weapons and continue to build a solid roster around their young franchise quarterback. They also beat Pittsburgh twice in 2021 and that winning streak seems like it will continue further.

The Steelers struggled against the Bengals a lot last season and those issues will likely continue. This young offense from last year will only continue to get better with age and different in-game experiences. They should be expected to get back to the playoffs again and potentially win the division in back-to-back seasons.
