Bengals 67-39-2
Steelers 68-39-1
Also look at the records of the steelers and the bengals against the Ravens since Marvin arrived
Bengals 19-13
Steelers 15-17
As a university of Tennessee fan I have seen the same thing against Florida. Even when the Vols had the better team they always lost to the Gators, and often it is in last second heart breaking fashion. Some teams just get in a coaches/players head. And, to be honest, some of it is just plain bad luck.
Whatever the reason, for me the way the Steelers have owned us is the single most painful aspect of Marvins tenure with the Bengals.
Hell, against the AFC as a whole, he is only 93-101, counting the playoffs. Take away his 22-9 record against the Browns - who have been among the NFL's very worst during his time, and he's only 71-92 against the other 14 AFC teams.
