Steelers Players to Watch Week 1: @ Bengals

By James Layton

For the first time in eighteen seasons the steelers are taking on the defending AFC North Campions without Ben Roethlisberger on the Roster. The Bengals are coming off of a super bowl season.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals are looking to repeat. But this retooled Steelers team is looking to show them why they are still the King of the North, and why the North runs though Pittsburgh.

TJ Watt and the boys are looking to show Joe Burrow just how physical this game is, and always will be.

These are the players I’m watching in this game.
