According to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman, a source said the NFL warned both teams against mixing it up prior to their AFC Wild Card clash Saturday night
We all know just how serious NFL rivalries can get, but arguably no on-field beef this season was as real as that between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Now, with the two teams set to face-off for an AFC Wild Card matchup, the NFL has reportedly issue a fair warning.
The issues between the Steelers and Bengals this season actually go far deeper than the Week 14 incident. In fact, they started in Week 8 when Steelers superstar running back Le’Veon Bell was lost for the year with a knee injury.
