The MOST important numbers in Steelers at. Bengals.

Bob Pompeani joins his show. Bob thinks DK Metcalf will have a multi-touchdown game. The Steelers have won 24 of their past 25 games in Cincinnati. The Steelers are 0-6 on the road against the AFC North on Thursday night with Mike Tomlin as their head coach.

Trey Hendrickson is considered a longshot to play tonight. Jaylen Warren is a tough, physical runner. Mason McCormick is pushing people around up front. Chris Hoke says it will be 24-20 Steelers and Jaylen Warren is the MVP. It's time Warren has a big game!

Hokie thinks this is a bigger game for the Bengals than the Steelers. Joe Flacco adds a new rinkle. Hokie thinks the Steelers are going to get the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hand quickly and control the tempo of the game. Hokie takes us inside what it's like at the line of scrimmage with quarterbacks like Brady and Rodgers making adjustments!

The Penguins have played two good games, and two that give us major question marks. Tyler Kennedy doesn't think the Penguins have enough sustained offensive zone time. Playing conditions are significant and the Acrisure Stadium field is comparable to needing good ice conditions.

Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler wants to see the Steelers' leadership step up and make sure the Steelers have a great start to the game. When the Steelers have lost on Thursday night, they have gotten off to bad starts. TK thinks we will know what this game will be like in the first five minutes of play. A look at the 2007-08 Steelers.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Is there any room for a Pitt Stadium? Ben Roethlisberger said Pitt needs to build an on-campus stadium with 35,000 fans. Joe suggests Pitt build the stadium on the outer part of Schenley Park. Bruce Feldman of The Athletic believes that Matt Rhule and Curt Cignetti are the top two candidates for the Penn State head coach job. James Franklin can't beat great teams but Matt Rhule is the same.
