Big battle brewing in Pittsburgh

Sundays matchup between the Steelers and the Bengals is a big game. This on could turn out to be the deciding factor in the battle for the AFC North.

Both teams are tied for the division lead right now at 6-2. When the two teams met in week three the Bengals were able to squeak out a victory 23-20. Cincinnati hasn’t lost a game yet in the division, they’re 4-0. The Steelers are 1-1 in the division and another loss to the Bengals could ruin their chances at winning the division.

The Steelers seem to be a different team than there were 7 weeks ago. They’ve been able to find a way to close teams out in the fourth quarter and they’re starting to run the ball with a little more effectiveness.

The Bengals have really turned things around for themselves recently. Especially on defense where they’re 5th in the league in points allowed. If Cincinnati can win on Sunday they put themselves in an excellent position coming down the stretch.
