Steelers plan to delay Bengals' title hopes with physical play

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers believe the Cincinnati Bengals, at 10-2, will eventually win the AFC North.

"It won't be this weekend," Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats told reporters.

At 7-5, the Steelers are three games behind the Bengals for first place. The Bengals also have the head-to-head edge with a 16-10 win six weeks ago. It was the game where some Steelers thought Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict celebrated Le'Veon Bell's knee injury, while some Bengals thought Steelers safety Mike Mitchell did the same on an aggressive open-field hit on Bengals receiver Marvin Jones.
