Barring a late recovery by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, the Bengals' AJ McCarron and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger will lead their respective teams against each other in Saturday's Wild Card Weekend matchup.
If/when that happens, it will add another interesting chapter to the quarterbacks' relationship—one that goes back more than a decade.
McCarron was thrown into the first real action of his NFL career last month against the Steelers after Dalton injured his thumb trying to make a tackle in the first quarter of the game. The second-year quarterback looked good, all things considered, but it was Roethlisberger who walked away with a 33-20 victory.
