Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to go against their AFC North division rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals in their week 12 matchup on Sunday in a much-anticipated game. The week 12 game between the two division rivals has created a lot of buzz and excitement among the football fans.

The Steelers are entering a crucial game as they just recently parted ways with their offensive coordinator Matt Canada following constant offensive struggles. In week 11, they suffered a brutal loss against the Cleveland Browns despite keeping their opponents to just 13 points. They would look to bounce back from that heartbreaking loss by securing a victory on Sunday.

On the other hand, the Bengals are coming off a brutal loss against the Baltimore Ravens in their week 11 game. Furthermore, they also suffered a major blow in the game as they lost their starting quarterback Joe Burrow to a season-ending wrist injury. They will move forward with Jake Browning as their starting signal-caller.

Amidst this situation, the Steelers are scheduled to take on the Bengals in a crucial game on Sunday, in what is expected to be a defensive showdown between two lackluster offensive units. The Steelers and the Bengals have faced each other 107 times in league history and the Pittsburgh-based football team has dominated the Bengals historically as they lead the head-to-head matchups with 68 victories and 39 losses.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Predicted Lineup

The Cincinnati Bengals received very bad news last week after an MRI scan confirmed Joe Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury. They will move forward without him under center for the rest of the season.

In his absence, second-stringer Jake Browning will take over the starting quarterback role. Furthermore, the Bengals will also be playing without their wide receiver No. 2 as Tee Higgins is ruled out of the game with a Hamstring injury. Their No. 1 cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt will also miss the game due to a quad injury.

On the other side, the Steelers will continue to miss the service of their top defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, who has been ruled out of the game with a Hamstring injury. Besides, their reliable cornerback James Pierre is also listed as questionable due to a shoulder injury, but he is expected to play in the game.

Nonetheless, one key matchup to watch out for in the game will be the matchup between the Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase and the Steelers rookie CB Joey Porter Jr. With Higgins out of the game, Chase will be expected to carry Cincinnati’s offense and if Porter Jr. can contain him, it’ll be a rough night for the Bengals.

Why the Pittsburgh Steelers can win?

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing their first game since the firing of Matt Canada. Their quarterback Kenny Pickett has a lot to prove in the clash and he could end up having a breakout game since he would be likely permitted to take deep shots. On the defensive side of the ball, the Steelers have managed to keep their opponents to just 19.5 points on average (7th best in the league).

They rank 6th in the league in interceptions registered and they will have to play a huge role once again. The Steelers will be going against the Bengals led by a second-string QB. So, unless Jake Browning surprises everyone with a good performance, the Steelers will likely end up winning the game comfortably.

Why the Cincinnati Bengals can win?

If the Cincinnati Bengals were to win this game, it is in the hands of Jake Browning and Ja’Marr Chase. The Bengals defense shouldn’t have a lot of struggles against the Steelers offense. The offense, on the other hand, will decide whether the Bengals can beat the Steelers or not. The Cincinnati-based football team should take advantage of Pittsburgh’s deflated secondary and should take multiple deep shots. Otherwise, it could quickly turn out into an ugly blowout loss for the defending NFC North champions.
