Gene Collier: Bengals idiocy extends Steelers' postseason run

CINCINNATI — So this went just about the way you expected it to, right?

With Landry Jones and Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman — three guys who could walk into your Giant Eagle in their uniforms and cause no disruption — trying to drag the Steelers to their first playoff victory in five years?

With the Bengals overturning a 15-point Steelers lead in the fourth quarter.

With Ben Roethlisberger leading a 74-yard field-goal drive with an injured shoulder in the final frantic seconds.

With Cincinnati arch-villain Vontaze Burfict winning the game with an interception of Jones, then losing the game with a mind-bending shoulder to the head of Antonio Brown on an incomplete pass.
