That's the problem imo. The Bengals and Steelers are so interested in downplaying the rivalry saying its not a rivalry it's the Steelers ravens yada yada yada when every fan of the 2 teams and everyone in America can easily see its the biggest rivalry. They need to do it like the biggest rivalry in sports osu Michigan they play it up all week it's Michigan week it's osu week. The Columbus police go and cross off every letter m in all the signs on campus. Some people even plants sings in opposing coaches yard. Not saying to that extent but if u play it up like the rivalry it is, the players play their hearts out trying to win. They won't give up bc this is the game. That is the kind of mentality the Bengals should have imo when they play the Steelers.
