NFL: Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers keys and pre game analysis

BENGALS

- Pass the ball deep down field where in my opinion the Steelers defense is more vulnerable

- Be aggressive on pass rushing to avoid that Big Ben would be able to extend the plays and so find his WRs deep down field where will be hard to cover

- Play some dime or quarter defense because if the Steelers will spread it out they won't be able to cover them down field

- Use crossing routes to beat the zones that they surely will face during the game

- Pay respect to Williams! Especially on stretch plays and draws

Key Players

- Green

- Johnson

STEELERS

- Provide good protection to Big Ben to attack the Bengals deep  where they are more vulnerable using the Ben's skill to extend the play

- Run the ball effectively to force both safeties to play closer to the line of scrimmage

- Spread the formations often!

- Double cover Green

- Don't play just zone but change often the coverage due to the limited skills of Danlton in reading the coverages
