Steelers vs. Bengals: Five impact players to watch in Week 7 at Heinz Field

The Steelers face a very credible threat in the Cincinnati Bengals. With Kansas City losing already on Thursday, the Steelers can pronounce themselves the conference favorite with a win this weekend.

Here are five guys that can be major contributors to a big win at home:

Martavis Bryant

The time is now to shake off the rust. The X-Factor has to quiet the "trade me" distraction of the past week. Reestablishing himself as a major threat can open things up for everybody else on the offense.

B.J. Finney

This guy seems like the heir-apparent to Ramon Foster. But he needs to continue his fierce protection with Foster out and facing a dominant defense.

Sean Davis

He's emerging as a leader in the secondary and an omnipotent presence. With big pass and run potential, the everywhere-man can help staunch the Cincy attack.

Vance McDonald

The tight ends need to contribute more on the receiving end. McDonald is proving himself to be a solid blocker, but he can really befuddle defenses if he gets comfortable with Ben Roethlisberger and becomes a quality receiving option.

Artie Burns

Burns might not be alone on an island against the all-world A.J. Green, but he should get a majority of the responsibility. Simply put, stop No. 18 and you stop the Bengals.
