Collinsworth not only slobbers on the Steelers, he slobbers all over the Ravens and how "tough" they are while neglecting to point out how dirty they played. There was one point in the game where he paused and I think was going to say something about one of the dirty plays, but didn't. The man wants to keep his job too....

I have to say that historically they have been two very good football teams.  And other than a relatively small number of players played a very good football game.  

Peters, Smith and Queen were horrendously dirty.  And there were other players that played dirty, obviously trying to intimidate the Bengals and, in my opinion, hurt Burrow.   But it was not the whole team.   Just like the Bengals were not a dirty team when Pacman Jones and Vontaze Burfict played (though I confess I loved both of them).   It was a few players that gave us that reputation.

I was there for this game.   It was a slobberknocker of a game that came down to the very last down played.  But we stopped them when we had to and I LOVE this Bengals team for that! They are mentally tough and they never give up - two hallmarks of both the other teams at their best.  We beat a very good football team with a decimated offensive line.
