Snarky but funny NYT "prediction" of how Sunday's game turns out
The Steelers, who beat the Bengals, 27-21, earlier in the season, open up a 24-point lead to start this game. An uncalled helmet-to-helmet hit knocks both of Ben Roethlisberger’s eyes to the same side of his face, but team doctors insist he is fine, and Roethlisberger plays the rest of the game in profile, like a flounder. The Bengals roar back to tie the game, but in a critical fourth-and-4 sequence, the new Steelers punter Jeremy Kapinos shouts “Boo!” and the entire Bengals roster jumps offside. The Steelers win, and the N.F.L. issues $250,000 in fines, half of them to James Harrison, who spent the entire game cuddling a bunny. Pick: Steelers. :chuckle:
