Key to beat the Bengals

What's the main, single thing we need to do in order to beat the Bengals?

 

"Shutting down" AJ Green isn't an option. Limiting his production is, and that alone is a tall order, as in 6' 4".

Dalton typically doesn't play well against the Steelers: 3-7 record as starter, a 58.3 pass completion percentage vs. 63.0 against all other opponents, a 203.4 yards-per-game average vs. 240.3 against all other opponents, a 12-to-10 touchdown/interception ratio vs. a 112-to-64 against all other opponents.

Getting Dalton "on his butt" as Cam Heyward said, is the key to this game. The pass rush needs to disrupt Dalton's timing and decision-making. An effective pass rush will help the secondary do their job.

 

There is never a single thing that beats an opposing team, they have to do all the attention to detail things to win in all 3 phases of the game, any let down in any of those phases can get you beat....

 

The team that is most capable of beating the Steelers today is the Steelers. Don't beat ourselves and we will win this game. Play disciplined and don't take the bait when guys are trying to get you to react emotionally. Also TOUCHDOWNS and NOT FIELD GOALS!
