Note sull'episodio
The Steelers are 1-1, and now it’s time to turn the page toward the first AFC North game of the season.
On this episode of The Noll Road, Gavin Dawson and Newbear Lesniewski start the Opening Script for Steelers-Bengals at Acrisure Stadium and work through everything that matters as Pittsburgh heads into Week 3.
Can the Steelers defense be good enough to control this game, or does the offense finally need to get into the mid-20s? Cincinnati has rebuilt both sides of the ball, including a defensive front that could present another major challenge for an offensive line still trying to find answers.
We’ll get into the Steelers’ offensive problems, the 5-for-25 start on third down, Aaron Rodgers, the lack of motion and creativity, whether the tight ends need a bigger role, and why young linemen Gennings Dunker and Max Iheanachor could provide some hope for the running game.
Plus, all the latest injury updates — including Joey Porter Jr.’s status and why his potential return could be especially important against Ja’Marr Chase.
And before we’re done, we’ll zoom out for a bigger Steelers conversation: How does Pittsburgh modernize its offense? We look at what the Cowboys eventually learned after falling behind the NFL’s schematic evolution, why Mike McCarthy’s approach is under the microscope, and whether people already inside the Steelers building could help shape what comes next.
It’s our first look at Steelers-Bengals and everything you need to know as Week 3 begins.
