I figured Steelers were going to have a really good, if not great, defense this year and Sunday bore that to be true. I did think, though, that we would handily defeat the Steelers but in a defensive "shoot-out".
We beat the Steelers twice last year, the second contest wasn't even a competitive game. Going into this game I kept the options of a close win or even a loss in mind, but I also figured...screw it, that's old Bengals' football thinking. We made the SB, we swept the Steelers, and we made improvements and we're into year 2 in a successful system.
Any given sunday, and division game, and all that jazz, but still we should have beaten them like we should beat the Cowboys this week.
