PITTSBURGH -- While many Steelers players have stuck to the company AFC North football line when it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals, running back DeAngelo Williams isnt afraid to verbalize the rivalrys intensity.Williams, fresh off a 143-yard, two-touchdown Week 1 performance that earned him AFC offensive player of the week honors, calls the Bengals-Steelers a two-chin-strap game because of the hatred between the teams.Last years three matchups included more than $200,000 in player fines, multiple social media feuds and several concussions.Everybody knows the professional hatred we have for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bengals have with us, Williams said. Everybodys heard the Twitter fight and things of that nature that weve had in the offseason. Guess what? This Sunday, that comes to a head, and the cameras will be watching.

Thats why people came to love football. You dont love hockey for the scores -- you love hockey for the fights, right?

And thats what youll get Sunday.Some Steelers chose to downplay the rivalry, with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger saying he was hoping for a clean game void of retaliation.NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino told ESPNs Adam Caplan that officials will monitor Sundays matchup with heightened awareness.Williams isnt sure how the game will be officiated.You have to talk to Roger [Goodell] about that.
