It is the Freezer Bowl before the Freezer Bowl. Try the Ice Rink Bowl. With the Riverfront Stadium Astroturf slicked down in zero-degree weather with a 17-below wind chill, the 8-5 Bengals skate past the 8-5 Steelers, 17-10, to win an odd tiebreaker that makes them AFC Central Division champs over two-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh with a win at 7-6 Houston in next week’s finale. The Bengals are trying to squeeze into the postseason like the panty hose equipment manager Tom Gray orders early in the week to help keep his players warm. After consulting with the Jets, Gray orders three sizes and 15 Bengals get the biggest that start at 240 pounds.
