The Pittsburgh Steelers lead the AFC North despite offensive struggles and Aaron Rodgers' wrist injury. Former players and coaches provide varied perspectives on the team's ability to reach the playoffs under Mike Tomlin. While tackling issues persist, optimism surrounds incremental improvements in the run game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a crucial Week 11 rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, aiming to halt a three-of-four loss skid while clinging to a one-game lead in the AFC North. Injuries to key players like CB Darius Slay and OT Broderick Jones cloud the outlook, as QB Aaron Rodgers calls for better receiver separation to support WR DK Metcalf. TE Pat Freiermuth could see increased opportunities against a Bengals defense that struggled in their first meeting.

The Magic sit at 3-5, ranking low in offensive efficiency, while Bane averages just 13.9 points per game. Atlanta's Onyeka Okongwu noted Bane's frustration amid limited shot opportunities.
