Bengals’ Week 13 battle with Steelers is about respect

Yeah. It’s Steelers Week. And no, it’s not your average matchup. Once upon a time the battle used to be about hard hits, smack talk and bragging rights. But, with the changing of rules and the sad sham of Marvin Lewis, the once rivalry has turned into a one-sided farce. When the Bengals and Steelers meet on Monday Night Football, the stage will be bigger than life. It’s about respect.

The “R” word has gone by the wayside when these two teams play. For some odd reason, Lewis never seems to have the Bengals ready for battles with the Stilluhs.
