Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton started down the road of erasing constant criticisms of his play in high-profile primetime games by leading an upset of the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football last week. This game is even bigger though, being against a division rival. Expect Cincy to build off that big Broncos win as they prepare for tonight's clash.
"We answered a lot of questions, especially on this Monday night thing," defensive tackle Domata Peko told the team's official website. "Everybody was talking about it. We kept it in-house and just got it done. We're just getting started."
The Steelers, unlike the Bengals, didn't enter the season with as many expectations. Breakouts by running back Le'Veon Bell, and continued stellar play from wide receiver Antonio Brown have helped Pittsburgh excel
"We knew we had the talent, and that it was just a case of us being consistent and putting it together," Bell said. "It might not have looked like we were making progress, but we knew that if we kept doing what we were supposed to be doing, we'd be all right."
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the Steelers' constant, and he is one touchdown away from 250 on his career. Big Ben is focused on nothing but beating the Bengals, however. "We're going to treat that like a playoff game like we've had the last three weeks."
