Former Steelers WR Hines Ward Says Steelers-Bengals Rivalry Has Become Personal

Thanks to several physical games this past season between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, the rivalry between the two teams may just currently be the best in the AFC North and maybe even the entire league.

On Friday, former Steelers wide receiver and current NBC sports analyst Hines Ward joined the Jim Rome Show and gave his thoughts on what Steelers-Bengals rivalry has become.

“It’s become personal, it’s hatred now,” Ward said. “If they’re in this room right now, they’re not shaking hands. They’re not saying what’s up or congratulations.
