Steelers call Ravens, not Bengals, their top rival
The Bengals beat the Steelers for the AFC North title last year, but that's not enough for some Pittsburgh players to consider Cincinnati their top rival.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are apparently afraid to even say the words 'Cincinnati' or 'Bengals.'
That's about the only way to explain various Steelers telling ESPN that the Baltimore Ravens were their top rival.
"I can't call it -- if I had to pick: Ravens," Steelers wide receiver Markus Wheaton said of who the Steelers' biggest rival is. "They got us last year. You want to get the win. That's more important."
