    Didn’t say otherwise though. I said the Browns aren’t one of the Steelers top rivals. I said those are the Ravens, Bengals, and Patriots. Browns aren’t on that level. A steeler fan wearing a Mayfield jersey wouldn’t mean as much as wearing a Suggs, Burfict, or Brady jersey 😁

        Whenever I see Steelers-Bengals, I don't automatically think "Oh, this is a must see rivalry. These two can't stand each other."

        I do feel that when they play Baltimore. Or New England. Or even Denver.

        Nothing about PIT-CIN screams hatred, outside of Burfict being ****, but everyone hates Burfict. I'm pretty sure even Bengal fans hate Burfict at this point.

          The people still replying. You don’t care to discuss rivalries that’s cool, thanks for letting us know.

          It’s definitely not a rivalry that the rest of the country cares about. Doubt anyone outside of the AFC north thinks oh its Steelers-Bengals week.

          But I do think recent history has created some bad blood. Will it stick? Probably not unless they meet in the playoffs again.

          Funny little sidebar, a fan website asked this question and the patriots were the overwhelming winner for top rival, followed by Baltimore. The bengals were a distant third. The most cited reason? It’s too one sided. So about Steelers lack of success against the patriots...lol

            So with all this being more openly discussed after the fact, Tomlin and the Steelers could be sanctioned for not adhering to injury reporting rules.

              Worst thing that would happen is a fine, but I doubt that happens.

              Definitely shaping up to be an interesting offseason for them, that’s for sure
