Cincinnati sure is nice this time of year.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, anyway.
The Steelers’ 33-20 win over the Bengals Sunday was their 13th in their last 15 games at Cincinnati, including playoffs, and their 21st out of their last 26 going back to 1991.
Ben Roethlisberger improved to 11-2 at Paul Brown Stadium.
Steelers wins at Cincinnati have become one of those warm, fuzzy late-autumn experiences, like the smell of a burning fireplace or the taste of pumpkin spice.
In most years, these Steelers wins by the Ohio River are one of the building blocks of an AFC North title.
