Steelers defensive captain James Farrior waited a year for a second chance like the one he received late Monday night.

Then again, Farrior will be the first to tell you that second chances can be overrated.

"Yeah, man, we got another chance," Farrior said following the Steelers' 27-21 win at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. "We thought we had it, but we let it slip away a little bit at the end. But we changed the outcome.

"Same defense. Same calls. We just played it better this time."

In Sept. 2009, the Bengals drove 71 yards in 16 plays, scoring the tying touchdown and the winning two-point conversion in the closing seconds of a 23-20 win at Cincinnati.
From that point forward, the local media and fan base determined that Farrior, who was 34 at the time, was beginning to display signs of slipping and slowing down in coverage..........
