How to watch Bengals vs. Steelers: MNF Game info, live stream, TV and more
The Pittsburgh Steelers will play host to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. Find out how to catch all of the Monday Night Football action via an online live stream.
Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals have gotten off to rough starts to the season, each losing their first three games of the year. The Bengals being 0-3 is not much of a surprise. If anything, they have been better than most expected. However, the Steelers sitting at 0-3 going into this game is certainly a surprise.
This game is incredibly important for both sides. Coming back from 0-3 to make the playoffs is hard enough, making that happen from 0-4 is almost impossible. Whoever loses this game on Monday night can probably forget about any postseason plans.
The Steelers will go into battle with Mason Rudolph under center. Rudolph has been decent in his first NFL action this season, but he is an obvious step down from Ben Roethlisberger. However, Rudolph does a nice job of spreading the ball around and getting his playmakers in a position to make an impact.
The key to the Steelers offense in this game will be getting running back James Conner on track. Conner is a talented back, but the Steelers have struggled to get him going this season. Could Conner be on track for a breakout performance against this less than stellar Bengals defense?
Under the direction of new head coach Zac Taylor, the Bengals have shown a more wide-open offensive attack this season. They are not afraid to let Andy Dalton push the ball down the field and they are doing a nice job of scheming their receivers open.
John Ross has exploded onto the scene this season, using his speed to make more of an impact than ever before. Ross is still an incredibly fast and explosive player and Taylor has done a nice job of getting him open space to work with. Ross should be in a great position to make an impact against a Steelers secondary that has its issues.
