Chicken Little: “The Steelers Can’t Run; Bengals Win Sunday”

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Jack Stentwiller in NFL
Relax, Steelers fans. You have a good team. It used to be that the two keys to winning in the NFL were running the football and stopping the run. This is not 1950, 1975 or even 2000. It's 2009.
