Tools and power have nothing to do with the utter lack of consistency and even handedness in the officiating. You saw it in the way the two teams played - the Steelers looked like they knew they could target players with impunity and not get called on it while the officials were clearly looking for reasons to flag the Bengals for even a hint of targeting.

We can now add Gio to the Hall of Fame of Bengals players knowingly and deliberately targeted by the Steelers with no consequences of note:

 - Palmer
 - Rivers
 - Huber
 - Eifert
 - Bernard

I'm sure I missed some.
