Steelers were called for 7 penalties for 104 yards.  Bengals 8-86.  Included in our penalties were 15 yards against Adam Jones for taunting, 15 yards against Pat Sims for unnecessary roughing, 15 yards against Burfict for unnecessary roughness, and Kirkpatrick was called for 2 holding and 1 DPI.  On the other side Steelers were also called for 3 unnecessary roughness plays as well as a long DPI and chop block.  Pouncy was a jumping jack accounting for multiple penalties.

Looking back at some of the threads from that weekend we weren't bitching about the refing more than any other normal game and far less than a normal Steelers game.  So looks like they call it close but equally.

Good news, because I clicked this link with more nerves than anything that has to do with injuries.
