Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we only win by 10 points (the first time we've done that since.. 2005 I believe) after a close, somewhat sloppy game? Also weren't we favored to win for the first time under Marv? Plenty of analysts had the mindset of "if not now, when for the Bengals"? I could have sworn we were looking sloppy until a late TD reception from Gio. The steelers have beaten us by 2+ TD's countless times. I'm asking honestly, have we ever done the same? I can't remember... Even when we beat them there is plenty of doubt until the waning moments.
I think the answer is obvious: the Steelers are the better coached team and have been for 50 years.
We're stuck with Pittsburgh native Marv who just cant seem to beat his hometown team...
You don't remember the game very well, clearly.
We wore black on black and the game was a lot closer than it really was, for reasons unknown.
We set the tone in the beginning of the game with Eifert's 67 yarder, made lovely adjustments for the 2ND half and Gio-van just took over and put a dagger through their hearts. Don't believe we ever lost the lead or momentum, from early on.
Stats and score aside, we drubbed them and it was a superbly played game.
