Bengals-Steelers has had some not so pretty chapters in the 94-game rivalry.
You can start with the 1983 Keith Gary neck throw of Ken Anderson, then go to the broken jaws of Keith Rivers and Kevin Huber, and end with last year’s Brawl in the Paul.
But now the rivalry gives us a thing of beauty fit for the holiday season.
When they play Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12), there’ll be about 350 students from Cincinnati’s Frederick Douglass Elementary School on hand courtesy of Bengals Pro Bowl left tackle Andrew Whitworth.
