PITTSBURGH (AP) - Finally after 40 years of being pushed around
and dominated by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cincinnati Bengals
refused to be bullied any more.
The Bengals beat the Steelers at their own game in their own
stadium, relying on a defense that smothered Ben Roethlisberger and
the Super Bowl champions by holding them to four field goals, and
one big special teams play for an 18-12 victory Sunday that put
them in control of the AFC North.
Shayne Graham kicked four field goals in the second half even as
the Bengals (7-2) failed to convert opportunity after opportunity
to take control. Bernard Scott's 96-yard kickoff return in the
first quarter proved pivotal as Cincinnati, despite playing the
second half without ace running back Cedric Benson, followed up a
23-20 win over the Steelers (6-3) on Sept. 27.
