Hey guys, welcome to double shot of Steelers.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of DK. Pittsburgh Sports.

This program is presented to you by our friends at the Fandual Sportsbook.

I'll be joined very soon here by Chris Halleck.

And we'll be talking about Steelers versus Bengals, which is coming up Sunday at 102 p.m.

And we're going to be talking about one thing above all. It doesn't mean it's the only thing,

because I know you guys are going to have other questions such as something Mike Tomlin,

Tomlin, Tomlin, Tomlin, like Frank Rice does because their last game was a loss. And that's how that goes.

I want to talk about the only thing that's really going to end up mattering on Sunday.

We can pretend otherwise.

We can talk about different phases of football.

We can talk about different people and personnel and stuff.

What this game is going to come down to is the cover zero plan.

Cover zero was the headline that I put on on top of our site whenever the Steelers got pasted out in Cincinnati.

And that's exactly what happened, by the way.

I don't care that the score was 33 to 31.

That makes it sound like it was some fun competitive thing.

It wasn't.

It was embarrassing.

Cover zero is what that defense looked like.

The way, heck, it's not even just the way that jemar chase was being you know productive it's not how open he was it's that he was targeted 23

times i didn't think i'd live to see an nfl receiver get targeted 23 times in a game not a wide receiver if a I didn't think I'd live to see an NFL receiver get targeted 23 times in a game.
