Much like Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood,” Sunday’s showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals could be a bloody battle for the Pittsburgh Steelers as the two teams have a clear disdain for each other.
Add into the picture the fact that the Steelers defenders could be looking for some payback for the celebration by Vontaze Burfict following Le’Veon Bell’s season-ending knee injury.
Outside of that, this game has much at stake for both teams as the Bengals are fighting to lock up the AFC North division title and one of the top two spots in the AFC playoff picture, while the Steelers are fighting just to get into the playoffs.
