No Context Monday Million
The lineups for tonight are all based around the Steeler’s passing game. Since there that isn’t indicative for a lot of analysis I shall saw a few things and leave you with the lineups.
James Conner isn’t a bad running back, but he lacks the burst or speed to break out against the defenders. Zeke is suffering from the same problem in Dallas, and as we saw from Pollard against the 49ers yesterday, sometimes speed is all you need.
The Steelers are using short and intermediate passing to substitute for the run game. Meaning more receptions and less deep shots in a typical game. Against the Bengals however, a division rival, there’s a good chance that Ben opens up the game by slinging the ball down field.
This Steeler’s defense is really good and this Bengal’s offense is really bad. I expect the Bengals to score 7 total points in this game.
That it’s a divisional game, meaning that everything can go haywire at any second.
