The Steelers and Bengals had one of their usual ferocious battles on Sunday, with Pittsburgh coming out on top this time around. But as Pacman Jones reminded everyone, the two teams will meet at least one more time this season.
After his team’s 24-16 loss, Jones had some colorful comments about Cincinnati’s division rival.
Adam Jones: "We'll see them mother f*****s again. Can't wait until we see them again. I take my hat off to Pittsburgh today."

Players from both sides tried to downplay the rivalry heading into the game, but we all know these games mean just a little bit more. That was particularly true this time around, as the last team the Bengals and Steelers met was in the playoffs last season. If you remember, Pittsburgh was basically handed a win thanks in part to idiotic personal fouls from Jones and Vontaze Burfict. You can see those plays here.
Needless to say, the Bengals have Dec. 18 circled on their calendars. And regardless of what Ben Roethlisberger wants us to believe, the Steelers’ win this week probably felt a little better than most.
