A look at the recent history between the Cincinnati Bengals and their Week 8 opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the distinction of being the team who the Bengals have the most total games played against in franchise history. The two teams have met 89 times, with the Steelers holding a 55-34 overall lead.
Early on, the newly formed Bengals lost regularly in the rivalry. From 1970 thru 1979 the Bengals were only 6-14 against the Steelers, which included a six game losing streak.
Fortunately the decade of the 80’s were much better for the Bengals, who went 15-6 against the Steelers in that decade.
