Week 12 Division Leading Steelers host the Bengals

Playing in nasty weather, the Steelers eacked out a tough 11-10 win vs. the San Diego Chargers. QB Big Ben Roethlisberger finally had a 0 turnover game & passed efficiently, while RB Willie Parker ran for 100+ yards. We’ll take the victory anyway we can.

Finally after a tough stretch of facing very good football teams, we get a breather. As the Cincinnati Bungles, I mean Bengals come to Pittsburgh. Last time we played the Bengals the Steelers won a laugher, winning in Cincy by the score of 38-10. This should be much closer as the starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (subbing for regular starter Carson Palmer who’s still injured) isn’t playing so well & Ocho Cinco Chad Johnson is having a very sub par year – lone standout on offense is T.J. Houshmandzadeh who has 73 catches for 726 yards. Team record speaks for itself, 1-8-1.

With Hines Ward finally coming to life in the Chargers game, as well as Big Ben & Parker playing well - this should be the right tonic needed after playing many great teams in a row, a breather per say. Steelers win in an easy manner & go to 8-3.

Steeler wide out Hines Ward all smiles, came thru with a big game against the Chargers.  He caught a season high in catches of 11 & 124 yards.
