The already proclaimed AFC North division champion Bengals will stroll into Heinz Field looking to pull a roast job on the home team. Boy, Kitna sure is a great QB when Johnson and Warrick are allowed to run free. I might make the Pro Bowl if I could stand back there and throw to two recievers that are basically uncovered in most routes. The Bengals get that open because the running game forces teams out of the cover two. Not this week. The Steelers will stop the running game with the front three and a linebacker. I also look for the Steelers to get very physical with the Bengal wide outs. This should frustrate Kitna into a few picks.
Its possible that the Steelers will be without the Bus. If so, Zereoue will have to play his ass off. The Steelers must run between the tackles to be successful in the running game. This does not play to Zereoues Strength. This means that you will see many screens in an attempt to soften the C2 zone. One thing for certain, the Bengals will Blitz, Blitz, Blitz. If you have a Steeler tight end this is the week to play him. The middle of the zone should be wide open. The question is which T.E. Reimersma is questionable. Tuman will have a nice day. If this happens the Pitt wide out will become a factor late in the game.
Here's your predicted results.
Maddox 20 of 30 for 245 2td's 1 int
Bettis 12c for 37 1 TD
Zereoue 8car for 22yrds 4rec for 15yrds
Burress 5 rec for 75 yrds 1TD
Ward 4 rec for 50yrds 1 TD
Doering 1 rec for 20
Randel El 2 rec for 25
Tuman 4 rec for 60 yrds 1TD
Reed 2 FG
Look for the Bengals to come in flat. They will be in the game early, but it will get away from them late.

Reed 2for 2 fg 2 xp
The bitter end was a three point Pittsburgh lead with 1:05 to play. Cincy had no time outs. Reed hit a line drive kick that was fielded on the run at the 27. The ball was returned to the bengal 48 yard line. 4 plays later. Game over.
Rumor: I have a friend in Pittsburgh who said that Lee Flowers Failing that roid test gave the Steelers a black eye. Rooney was very pissed about it. He threatend to test all Steeler players weekly instead of the random tests they recieve now. Without the roids the Steelers have lost strenth on both sides of the ball up front. This has lead to a lack of pressure and protection. It has also added to the numerous injuries up front.
Editors Note* I dont know about the validity of the Rumor. It has to be treated for what it is. It does raise a brow though.
