CINCINNATI – We’re on our way in Queen City, as the Bengals begin their conference title defense against the Steelers. Cincinnati swept the series last season on its way to representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.
The Bengals, led by quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja’Marr Chase, have brought back most of their players from last year’s squad. The same cannot be said of the Steelers, who are ushering in a new era after Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement. Roethlisberger’s replacement is former Bears Pro Bowl quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who is looking to revive his career after spending last season as a reserve for Josh Allen. The Steelers have several other notable new players, including rookie recipient George Pickens and former Bengals linebacker Larry Ogunjobi, who signed with the Steelers after torturing them during his final year in Cincinnati.
Will it make the Bengals fourth in a row against the Steelers, or can Pittsburgh pull off their first week strike? Follow our live blog below throughout the game to find out.
