Tonight's Sunday Night Football matchup features two AFC North teams mired deep in the pack that is the AFC. Pittsburgh is 2-3 and under .500 prior to week 7 for the first time since their 2005 Super Bowl victory; however, they've managed to give away fourth quarter leads in all three losses, including ten unanswered points in the final 4:20 to Tennessee and 17 unanswered points to Denver to open the season.

The Bengals' road hasn't been particularly cheery either - they've lost back-to-back games after winning three straight, and Andy Dalton matched his three touchdowns by throwing three interceptions. AJ Green, though, is having a superb season, leading the Bengals with 43 receptions, 628 yards, and six touchdowns.

However, expect a defensive, running game and a half - neither team allows more than 228 yards per game through the air and neither team allows more than 350 yards of total offense consistently.
