Our best Steelers vs Bengals SGP for Week 7
While we can joke about old-man Joe Flacco all we want, it should be taken into consideration that these are the best skill players he’s worked with in a long time, and it’s a significant upgrade from the group he had in Cleveland.
The Cincinnati Bengals dropped 18 second-half points, and it was encouraging to see solid chemistry between Flacco and Ja’Marr Chase as they connected on 10 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.
On the other side of things, this Bengals defense could be in trouble. The game sets up well for Aaron Rodgers to stuff the stat sheet against a defense that ranks 29th in yards per play allowed and opponent third-down conversion rate, while also ranking 30th in the red zone.
Entering the week, the Bengals have allowed the second-most passing yards in the NFL, allowing an average of 258.5 per game. Of their six opponents, only Carson Wentz has failed to top 215.5, and that had a lot to do with the Vikings being up 34-3 at halftime.
As for the touchdown passes, this will be a good opportunity for Rodgers to pick apart the Bengals in the red zone, where they're among the worst in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for sixth in red-zone touchdown conversion percentage.
