The Steelers and Bengals have a storied rivalry that is filled with animosity and controversy. While recent years have seen the violence in the rivalry toned down, many fans still don’t hold much love in their hearts for Cincinnati or their players. However, former Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson may be the lone exception to this rule. While most people know Anderson as the star player for the Bengals throughout the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was also a coach in Cincinnati from 1993-2002.
Anderson was fired after the 2002 season, and after a short stint coaching in Jacksonville, he joined the Steelers’ staff.
