Rivalry

A big reason why the Steelers traded for Ramsey before this season was to slow down Chase, Tee Higgins and the Bengals' weapons.

Ramsey struggled against Chase in their first matchup. Chase had 16 catches for 161 yards and one touchdown in the Bengals' 33-31 win.

Ramsey was moved to safety after that game.

"He's just really showing how versatile he is as a person, as a DB," Chase said this week. "I think he only moved to safety because it was a change on the back end. I'm not really sure 100% what's going on, how they're doing that, but he's just showing off how versatile he is."

Does it change the Steelers' defense?

"I don't think so, no," Chase said. "I think he had a couple snaps at safety when we first played them."

Chase called the Bengals' matchup with the Steelers a "must-win." Cincinnati is 3-6. They've lost back-to-back games by six points combined, including a heartbreaking 39-38 loss to the Jets.

The Bengals currently trail the Steelers 20-12 in the fourth quarter. A win would pull them within a game of Pittsburgh for the AFC North lead. A loss would put them three games behind Pittsburgh with seven games left this season.
