(Cincinnati, OH) — It’s Wild Card time in the NFL Playoffs and Pittsburgh Steelers fans are getting ready for the game against the hated Cincinnati Bengals tonight in Cincinnati.
The two teams split the season series. Cincinnati beat the Steelers 16-10 in November. Pittsburgh got some revenge last month with a 33-20 win. That game resuilted in $100,000 in fines.
But Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says you can forget about the regular season stuff. He says playoff games are just different.
“Everything changes, how much faster these playoff games are, how much more every little mistake means, every little play means. It’s a completely new season.”
The Steelers head into the game with a 10-6 mark while the AFC North champion Bengals are 12-4.
Both teams have major injury concerns. AJ McCarron will start at quarterback for the Bengals in place of injured Andy Dalton. The Steelers will be without the services of running back DeAngelo Williams.
