💥 Aaron Rodgers to BOUNCEBACK vs Joe Flacco & Bengals week 11 preview
Welcome to the Steelers Realm Podcast! The 5-4 Steelers are back home and must bounce back from a loss against the 3-6 Bengals in a crucial AFC North rematch.
This game is all about extremes, with the line opening at Steelers -5.5 and the Over/Under at 49.5 points (just like the 33-31 shootout in Week 7!).
📉 The Crisis & The Opportunity
Rodgers Under Pressure: Aaron Rodgers is coming off his worst performance (161 YDS, 2 INTs vs. LAC) and the Steelers offense ranks 4th fewest in YPG (280.7). They must exploit the Bengals D.
Defense Exposed: The Steelers defense ranks 32nd (LAST) in the NFL in Pass Yards Allowed (269.4 YPG), but their pass rush ranks 2nd in Sacks (32). They need T.J. Watt to save the secondary.
Flacco's Fire: Joe Flacco is red-hot, throwing for a massive 470 YDS and 4 TDs last week. He is an enormous threat to the defense.
⚔️ Key Numbers & Matchups
The Chase Factor: Ja'Marr Chase leads the NFL with 76 receptions. In Week 7, he had 16 REC and 161 YDS. Limiting him (especially with Darius Slay in concussion protocol) is the entire defensive game plan.
The Run Game (WIN THIS): The Bengals defense ranks 32nd (LAST) in Rush YDS Allowed (166.4 YPG). The Steelers run game (ranked 30th) MUST dominate time of possession and run the ball for 150+ yards to secure the win.
Injury Alert: The potential absence of LB Alex Highsmith (Pec) and OT Broderick Jones (Groin) would severely compromise both the pass rush and the struggling O-Line.
