Box score

This really wasn't a very clean game, and the Steelers really bothered the Bengals offensively. But this victory is crucial mentally as well as in the standings. Celebrate, Bengals fans: You've earned this one.

Bengals came up biggg last week. This team is much better than I ever thought they could be. We were more physical than the Steelers and Ravens in our last 2 meetings. That is something I did not think I would see.

In other news, we picked up another malcontent in Johnson. Hopefully it doesn't mess with Ceddy's head. We also cut Ben Utect this week as he can't seem to get healthy after his concussion. I thought he would make a difference here when he signed. Hopefully he can get healthy.

I wonder if we will see an Andre Smith sighting this year. Hopefully he gets himself ready to play.
