After potentially seeing their playoff hopes dashed by running back injuries, the Pittsburgh Steelers learned a lot last season about not having enough depth when it came to the running back game. Last offseason, the Steelers signed DeAngelo Williams, which paid off when Le’Veon Bell missed the first two games of the season due to a drug-related suspension. It paid off again when Bell suffered an MCL tear in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals and was out for the remainder of the ... Read More
Steelers survive and advance courtesy of instant classic win over Bengals
The Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on to Denver. The Cincinnati Bengals are still looking for their first playoff victory since 1991.

Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Bengals
Some losses are worse than others. It's a cliché used often in sports, but the Steelers gut-wrenching 16-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals would have to qualify. Not only did the loss effectively end any hopes of winning the AFC North, the Steelers also got even worse news late last night when it was reported by Steelers Depot that All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury suffered early in the second quarter yesterday at Heinz Field.
