The Steelers defense allowed the Bengals to rush for over 150 yards and throw for 172 yards. The defense is ranked 29th stopping the running and 29th defending the pass. In preparation for Sunday's game coach, Mike Tomlin used receiver Ray-Ray McCloud as the scout team quarterback to imitate Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

It has not gone unnoticed that the Steelers offense and defense of line have been underperforming the last few weeks. The offense of line allowed Ben Roethlisberger to get sacked three times last week in Cincinnati. The defense of line has been getting manhandled at the line of scrimmage for the last 2 games.
