CINCINNATI -- Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones proved their dislike for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the wacky finish to January's wild-card playoff game between the Steelers and Bengals.
This weekend, Burfict, Jones and a few other Bengals will try to get football fans of a different kind to embrace distaste for another Pittsburgh-based athletic team.
The Bengals players will serve as honorary captains Saturday ahead of a match being hosted by upstart soccer team FC Cincinnati. The United Soccer League team started play in Cincinnati about a month ago and will host the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium.
