The Pittsburgh Steelers had a big matchup on their schedule this past weekend, as they headed into Cincinnati to take on the division rival Bengals. The Bengals had gotten off to a 4-1 start to the NFL season, and looked like a real contender in the AFC North, but the Steelers quickly regained control in their matchup.

The Steelers kept battling back against the Bengals, and in the end, they proved to be too much offensively for the Bengals defense. Currently, Ben Roethlisberger is leading the NFL in passing yards, and that is without a tight end to speak of, which is pretty impressive.

One area the team could look to go on draft day in 2019 is the tight end position, and Noah Fant should be a name you hear called in the first round. Fant is the kind of tight end that can change the game with his pass-catching ability, and the Steelers have not had that kind of player in a long time.

These Steelers are not going anywhere, and with Le’Veon Bell expected to return in the coming weeks,Ā  the offense is only going to get better. Big Ben is on a mission to win another title before his career is over, and he is playing at a very high level right now, which should put the rest of the division on notice.
