Whose house? Run’s house!

So – a wise man once wrote: “if these teams meet again in the playoffs and the Steelers are healthy, I still feel pretty good about their chances.”

Well – they met again and the playoff and, what’s that Chad Johnson? A new leader in the AFC North? Black and white TV to color? Not so fast Mr. No Touchdowns In Three Games Against The Steelers This Year.

I’m not discounting the fact that Carson Palmer got f’d up, but the Steelers found their running game and defense and the result is victory. Folks – there’s a reason the Steelers were favorites on the road in the playoffs. Apparently the Vegas odds makers weren’t convinced the Bengals were legit either. Hell yes.

Notes: here are some quotes from Joey Porter about the shit talking Bengals from this ESPN.com article:

"There is a lot of little stuff they did," Steelers linebacker Joey Porter said about the Steelers disdain for the Bengals. "You have T.J. Houshmandzadeh wiping his feet with the Terrible Towel. The whole bib thing [with Chad Johnson wearing the Terrible Towel as a bib to catch crumbs]. You kinda get ahead of yourself. They haven't been in the playoffs. They don't know what it takes. They proved it today."

...

Porter remembered Chad Johnson saying that the torch had been passed in the AFC North when the Bengals beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh Dec. 4. He remembers Johnson saying the change was like going from black-and-white television to color TV.

"I'm going to send him the new plasma black-and-white TV," Porter said. "Hopefully, he's going to get the chance to watch us in our playoff game in Indianapolis."
