Summary

As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals on November 12, broadcaster Cris Collinsworth emphasizes the Bengals' enhanced offensive line as a significant factor in the matchup. He notes that the Bengals' pass protection has improved markedly, impacting the Steelers' defensive strategy, especially in relation to star linebacker T.J. Watt. Historically, the Steelers have excelled in pressuring Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, but with Cincinnati enjoying a four-game winning streak, the pressure will be on Pittsburgh's front four to adapt. Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recognized that the contest will likely hinge on Pittsburgh's ability to win battles against the Bengals' now-sturdier offensive line.
