Bengals vs Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers v Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow and the Bengals meet Najee Harris and the Pittsburgh Steelers twice in the 2022-23 regular season, including Week 1 in Cincinnati.

The Week 1 matchup will feature several new players in key positions for both teams, most notably under center for the Steelers. After the retirement of longtime starter and future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger, the team signed former Bears and Bills QB Mitch Trubisky to a 2-year, $14.3M deal, and also drafted Pitt QB Kenny Pickett with their first round pick in the draft. The starter for the position is still yet to be determined, with both Trubisky and Pickett taking first team reps at the start of training camp thus far.

The Week 1 matchup will also be the first glimpse at a revamped offensive line for the Bengals, which now features La’el Collins, Alex Cappa, and Ted Karras, who are all projected to be starters come September.

Prediction

Week 1: Bengals 28, Steelers 10

Week 11: Bengals 20, Steelers 7

With much of the core of last season’s Super Bowl team returning for the Bengals, expect them to start the season on a high note against a young Steelers team that does not have nearly as much experience playing together in Week 1.

With a bye week in Week 10, the Bengals will be fresh and ready to go come Week 11 in Pittsburgh, giving them the advantage over the Steelers despite being on the road.
