The Steelers defeated the Bengals 24-16 Sunday on a relatively peaceful, if rainy, afternoon at Heinz Field.
With Vontaze Burfict far outside Pittsburgh’s city limits, a shouting match between Antonio Brown and Karlos Dansby was about as heated as Sunday’s game would get.
It was so civil, in fact, that one of the teams could have called a radio station and dedicated “See You in September” to the other.
Even though these AFC North rivals play each other twice a year, this was just their fifth September meeting since 1993. The Steelers broke a streak of three straight September losses to the Bengals.
