Ahead of this Sunday night’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Steelers Head Coach Mike McCarthy held his weekly news conference yesterday. Both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are on four-game win streaks heading into the contest at Paycor stadium this Sunday night.
After giving the team the entire week off to rest, recover and reset, the team will return to practice today for a “self improvement day”. He says this will be part of an important few days to get back into the groove.
Coach McCarthy said that the team has been taking care of the basics from takeaways to getting hits on the ball.
McCarthy said that he would like the outcome to be the same as week three when the Steelers beat the Bengals, but he says the black and cold have changed the way they play
The Steelers do have a grueling schedule ahead as they face the Bengals first in Cincinnati, then a road game against the Philadelphia Eagles on the 22nd, then a home game against the Denver Broncos on Black Friday.
One thing that has changed is the start time for the Philadelphia game. That has been flexed from a 4:25 PM start on Sunday to a 1:00 PM start.
