PITTSBURGH (AP) -One Steelers player after another is saying it: These aren’t the Bengals who have lost their last eight home games against the Steelers. These aren’t the Bengals who have beaten Pittsburgh only twice in 11 games.
What they aren’t saying is this: These aren’t the same Steelers, either.
Without injured All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu, the Steelers are not quite as intimidating defensively as they were while winning the Super Bowl twice in the last four seasons.
Polamalu will miss his second game in a row Sunday due to a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and he could be out for another month.
The Bengals are all but issuing this plea: Hey Troy, don’t rush back.
