It really quite simple - we have to win tomorrow or it is all irrelevant. If we win, then the next week we all become Stealer fans because we then need them to beat the Rats.

Oldest trick in the book...
It's set up "perfectly". Bengals win tomorrow, Steelers win next week...etc, etc. Seen it many many many times before.
No matter. The way it works is, Bengals fans are Charlie Brown, the situation is the football and reality is Lucy.

Pittsburgh Steelers (9-2) vs Cincinnati Bengals (5-6)
Monday, December 4th, 8:30 PM on ESPN - MNF
Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio
Announce Crew: Sean McDonough, Jon Gruden, Lisa Salters
Im a 'law of averages' kind of person, so I cringe when I hear those numbers...."Pittsburgh has won 5 in a row", "Cincy has lost 3 in a row at home", "Pittsburgh has won 10 in a row in primetime", "cincinnati is 1-7." I take zero comfort in those.

Cool stuff. I've actually walked down that hall before, near the player entrance, when I worked security at PBS back in 2008.
I'll never forget Caleb Miller walking into the Tenable Security office and asking for an application. Maybe he knew his time was nigh.

Yeah, Ross a healthy scratch yet again. The #9 overall pick sitting on the bench as the last active spot goes to a recent practice squad RB instead. Just crazy.
