This is part of a story in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. I have tried to goat the “goofy ass emotional chick” from Cincinnati, Stacy, into some Steeler/Bengal rivalry banter over on her blog, but she’s just not biting.
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Seven weeks after losing their grip on first place in the AFC North, the Steelers are back in control.
They are tied atop the division with the Cincinnati Bengals at 7-2, but the Steelers' 27-13 victory in Cincinnati Oct. 23 gives them a leg up on the first tiebreaker in any logjam at the top.
The Steelers won two of the first three AFC North championships since realignment formed the new division in 2002 with the Bengals, Steelers, Ravens and Browns as members. The Steelers led the division last year from wire to wire, although they were tied for the lead in weeks 2 and 3.
They slipped out of the AFC North lead for the first time in more than a year when Cincinnati won in Week 3 this season and the Steelers dropped to 2-1 by losing at home to the Patriots.

You can bet your ass that the Bengals will win the AFC. Both the Steelers and the Bengals are good teams. But Bengals have the true heart this season and the drive to do it. You think Chad Johnson's gonna let some other team win the division. I don't think so. Besides, when the Bengals played the Colts on Sunday they held their own. I mean, they seriously played well considering Peyton Manning was throwing the ball like a freaking Superman.
Since you're in to wagers... how about if the Steelers win the AFC I'll kiss you ass on my blog. If the Bengals win you have to send me presents. J/K! No, you'll have to do the same. Deal?
I think if the Steelers win the AFC North, you have to buy & wear a Ben jersey in a blog photo (no face in the shot if you are worried about stalkers).
If the Bengals win the AFC North, I win buy & wear a Chad Johnson jersey.
If you don't want to go that far or expensive, we can leave it to bragging rights (priceless!!!)
