The Steelers and Bengals are going to be back at each other again this Sunday. The two teams played each other three times last season (once in the playoffs), and saying there is bad blood is an understatement.
The teams do not back down from taking shots at each other, on and off the field. There is no doubt the two will be competing heavily for the AFC North title this season. The Steelers are coming off an easy win against the Redskins and the Bengals a close one against the Jets. It is still early in the season, but the two teams are already side-by-side fighting for the North crown.
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams will be starting again with Le'Veon Bell still suspended.
Williams went off against the Redskins, scoring two touchdowns and gaining over 140 yards on the ground. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Williams had this to say of the upcoming game:
“Everybody knows the fines that are associated with this game. Everybody knows the professional hatred we have for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bengals have with us. Everybody’s heard the Twitter fights and things of that nature that we’ve had in the offseason. Guess what? This Sunday, that comes to a head, and the cameras will be watching. It will be our will vs. their will and we will see who breaks first.”
Williams does not look like a player who is going to back down from the upcoming challenge. If DeAngelo carries this attitude into Sunday's game, he could be a force to be reckoned with.
Williams got action in the two regular season games against the Bengals last season, putting up a total of 147 yards to go along with two touchdowns. He will surely be looking to put the hit stick on Cincinnati this Sunday.
