Pittsburgh did what everyone knew they would. Intimidate the Bengals and hurt them.
I will say it once again for the last time, until they can start winning big games and games on the big stage, history will remain in place and repeat itself, over and over!
I didn't see a single player intimidated. I saw a defense hold the hottest QB in in the league to without a touchdown. I saw a team without it's starting quarterback and league leading touchdown receptionist fight back against the Steelers defense. I saw a team down 6 starters fight back and hold their own against a very hot Steelers offense.
No one was intimidated. Injuries is what held the game close. There's zero reason to believe that had Dalton been healthy that they couldn't win this game.
