Game preview

The NFL has scheduled the ’ Week 18 game against the at Acrisure Stadium, marking their second meeting of the season. In their first matchup in Week 13, the Steelers emerged victorious with a 44-38 win, fueled by a standout performance from quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns. He was supported by key plays from Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth, and George Pickens, demonstrating the team’s offensive prowess. However, replicating that success in the upcoming game will present a significant challenge.

The Steelers are aiming to regain momentum after three consecutive losses as they prepare for their first playoff appearance. The outcome of the game also hinges on the Ravens’ earlier matchup with the Browns, as a Baltimore win would secure them the division title. Meanwhile, the Bengals, led by Joe Burrow, are fighting for a playoff spot and are expected to provide a tough challenge. The Steelers must focus on establishing a strong running game and improving their ball security to control the clock and limit Burrow’s impact. Coach Tomlin has emphasized the importance of a balanced performance for a potential victory.
