CINCINNATI -- There were flashbacks to 2009 for the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers) on Monday night.

"The whole fourth quarter," Steelers linebacker James Farrior (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1219) said. "It was the same thing as last year and the same scenario."

The reigning AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/cin/cincinnati-bengals) were on fire late and driving against Pittsburgh's defense. A year ago, the Steelers blew several fourth-quarter leads and, likewise, the Bengals had several come-from-behind victories, which led to Cincinnati making the playoffs and Pittsburgh watching from home in January.

But this clearly isn't 2009...............

I remember the 23-20 game the Steelers lost last year . Thankfully it came down to a different outcome this year

No, the Bungles aren't heading in a different direction. They're following their tried and true pattern. One good year followed by several crappy ones.
