02:00 PM ET 12.18 | Jonathan Dwyer will start once again at running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. Tomlin also said he would try to find a role forRashard Mendenhall, who has been a healthy scratch for three straight weeks. Dwyer has been the Steelers' go-to running back in recent weeks, but he has struggled to produce. Last week against theDallas Cowboys, he managed just 22 yards on nine carries, though he did score a touchdown. Mendenhall has been in Tomlin's doghouse since losing two fumbles in Week 12.

Cincy is coming in with a lot of momentum. And they have a lot of reasons to want this game. The Steelers have ended the Bengals season too many times to expect to be able to half ass their way through. If something is going to fuel a playoff run, they need to find it very soon.

They better get some pressure on Dalton of it will be another long afternoon for that depleted secondary.

I wonder how hard it would be for the Steelers to make Carnell Lake into a player/coach?
