It just doesn\u2019t necessarily feel like it.<\/p>\n Three losses in four games, each troubling in its own way, will do that. The optimism that followed Pittsburgh\u2019s hot start has been met with a steady dose of reality that, while the Steelers (5-4) can compete with anyone when they\u2019re at their best, manufacturing their best regularly has proven more difficult than all involved would prefer. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just consistency,\u201d said quarterback Aaron Rodgers, coming off his worst game of the season last Sunday night in a lopsided setback<\/a> against the Los Angeles Chargers. \u201cIf the process is right, you don\u2019t have to make any major changes or freak out. It\u2019s the nature of the league. There\u2019s going to be a stinker every now and then.\u201d<\/p>\n Rodgers and his teammates hope they\u2019ve burned up their allotment for the season when they take the field on Sunday against the Bengals (3-6)<\/a>, who sent Pittsburgh into its mini-tailspin with a 33-31 loss<\/a> in Cincinnati last month.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the young guys think it\u2019s the end of the world after you lose, which is very, very acceptable because you want those type of competitors in the locker room,\u201d Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf said. \u201cBut also, it\u2019s a long season.\u201d<\/p>\n Cincinnati is banking on it. Joe Burrow returned to practice this week and while he remains a few weeks away from being cleared following foot surgery, a sweep of the Steelers increases the odds of the Bengals playing meaningful football down the stretch.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now you look at it, you\u2019re 2-0 in the division, we have a chance to go 3-0,\u201d Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said. \u201cThat would be a huge step in the right direction of putting us back in with the teams that are at the top two of our division.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Unc\u2019 Bowl 2.0<\/p>\n Rodgers and Flacco and their combined 39 years of NFL experience put on a show in Cincinnati last month. Rodgers threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns \u2014 each one of them to tight ends \u2014 while Flacco lit up the Pittsburgh secondary for 342 yards and three scores.<\/p>\n While Flacco has continued to produce in Burrow\u2019s absence, Rodgers and Pittsburgh\u2019s offense have regressed. The Steelers have failed to top 300 yards in each of their last three games, and their 41-year-old quarterback looked his age against the Chargers, tossing a pair of picks (one of which wasn\u2019t his fault) and getting dropped for a safety.<\/p>\n
