Sorry SHRacer, I remember it quite differently.

Let's see....
Prime Time Game -- Check
Marvin Lewis is the coach -- Check
Fighting for our Playoff lives -- Check
Steelers -- Check
Flag happy referee squad (Walt Anderson) -- Check
What could go wrong?

We win by 1, but the league in its infinite wisdom decides for the first time that we shouldn't have won just because one of the refs got something in his eye and they change the outcome two days later and reward the squeelers with a 6.25 point victory.. Also a first with a partial score.. Pittsburgh 20.25 Cincinnati (just leave the number off)

Bengals lose the game and Steelers lose 2 or 3 key people for the year hurting their playoff run.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

The Steelers have won their last 10 prime time games, including 6 by 20 or more points.
Maybe they're due for a letdown after a very good stretch.
The Bengals are just 3-7 in their last 10 prime time games, but the last 6 losses are by a combined 17 points.
Maybe they're on the verge of a signature win under the lights.
I may be just looking for reasons to be optimistic despite the home record versus the Steelers and the overall prime time record. I usually have very, very little confidence when this game is at PBS - and for good reason - but I feel like this one has the makings of an upset.
I'm gonna predict:
Bengals 23
Steelers 21

If Mike Vick could serve two years for killing dogs (and he is a complete scumbag for that), it amazes me how Piggy rapes two women (that is since college) and pays them off with SEVEN FIGURE SETTLEMENTS and avoids not only jail time, but has a shorter suspension than guys that menaced or (reportedly Zeke) shoved down a woman. Don't mistake what I am saying, there is no violence to women that is acceptable but what is a worse crime? And somehow, this shitbag never gets that stuff brought up while Burfict is a menace to society and should be out of the game. SMFH!
What does that have to do with who is better, Andy or Ben? Ben will be inducted into the HOF. Andy will visit the HOF.
