| (MySportsbook) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have been waiting quite some time for a rematch with the AFC North-rival Cincinnati Bengals, and will get their chance for redemption this Sunday afternoon at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh just recorded its fifth straight victory since a 1-2 start by handing the Denver Broncos a 28-10 drubbing Monday night at Invesco Field. The Steelers started out slowly, owning a 7-3 lead at halftime, before two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Ben Roethlisberger fired three touchdown pa |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has put the kibosh on condiments. Receiver Chad Ochocinco tweeted this week that he planned to send mustard to the Pittsburgh Steelers in advance of their game Sunday at Heinz Field. When Lewis got wind of the plan, he put an end to it. Ochocinco said on Wednesday that Lewis has prohibited him from sending anything to Pittsburgh. Last week, the receiver sent deodorant to some of the Baltimore Ravens a few days before their game. The Ravens came to Cincinnati and l |

Nolan's department hasn't performed at full capacity over the last two weeks, both losses, and now has given up at least 23 points in three straight games. Nolan's defense was exposed when the Pittsburgh Steelers used a no-huddle offense in Monday night's 28-10 victory in front of the Mile High faithful. The game was tight at halftime with Denver trailing, 7-3, but a huge second half surge by Pittsburgh sent first-year head coach Josh McDaniels and the Bronc |

A win this Sunday at 1-7 Cleveland would be a good first step. STEELERS: It didn't matter that the Pittsburgh Steelers needed a victory in Week 9 to remain tied for first place with the Cincinnati Bengals.

| MySportsbook) - The Arizona Cardinals weren't easy to figure out last season, when the team lost four of its final six regular-season tests before defying the experts with three straight playoff wins and getting an eyelash from besting the favored Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. The 2009 campaign has been an even more puzzling one for the defending NFC champions. Arizona is 4-0 on the road at the season's midway point, but has gone just 1-3 at University of Phoenix Stadium, where the club had enjoyed co |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Turns out the Bengals are pretty good copycats. In only half a season, they've changed their identity. Instead of trying to win games with fancy passing, they've adopted the ways of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, who have won championships with solid defenses and dependable running games. The Bengals (6-2) are beating them at their own game. ``I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh have set the tone for the AFC North and were the ones to come up with the formula, which is good so |

| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Broncos due to a blood disorder which makes it dangerous for him to play in high altitudes.

He also had to undergo surgery to remove his gall bladder and lost 30 pounds before making a full recovery. |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers won't announce whether safety Ryan Clark will play in Denver until Monday night, although he is not expected to be in uniform.

While Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has not publicly said so, he is believed to have told Clark to sit out the game. Clark had his spleen and gall bladder removed during separate operations and he lost 30 po |
