CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Adam Jones didnt even hesitate once he saw the group of reporters near his locker.I aint talking about Pittsburgh, Jones said.It must be Steelers week.Last year, the Bengals and Steelers couldnt stop talking about each other. But now that the AFC North rivals are set to face off again on Sunday, the Bengals arent intersted in adding any fuel to the fire.The two teams last met in the AFC wild-card game in January, a chaotic, physical game (Bengals running back?Giovani Bernard and Steelers wide receiver?Antonio Brown were both knocked out with concussions) that descended into madness in the final two minutes. As the regular season has drawn near, the Bengals have been more and more reluctant to discuss the game.Now they arent saying anything at all.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was happy to answer questions regarding the Steelers current team. But when asked on Monday about anything regarding the last meeting, he had only one thing to say.New team, new season, new year, Lewis said.He repeated the phrase for three straight Pittsburgh-related questions.With the way the rivalry has ramped up in its intensity lately, its no surprise the Bengals are choosing every word carefully.From trash talking and threats on social media to pregame scrums, the rivalry has morphed from general AFC North animosity into something bigger.That was all on display in their last meeting, and both teams received their share of scorn from pundits for their actions in a game that resulted in more than $80,000 in fines for both teams.There is an intensity there that is bordering on lunacy, former Bengals quarterback and CBS analyst Boomer Esiason told the Cincinnati Enquirer.The wild-card game seemed sealed after Bengals linebacker?Vontaze Burficts interception with two minutes left, but a fumble by running back?Jeremy Hill gave the ball back to the Steelers on the next play. Burfict went from the savior of the game to one of the goats after he was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Brown that gave Brown a concussion.The next minute escalated from there.Burfict put a hand on Browns shoulder and appeared to attempt to say something to him before a Steelers athletic trainer shoved his hand away and into the face of Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter. Burfict later told ESPN that Porter wasnt saying anything negative, but Jones, seeing Porter -- known as a trash talker -- came over to defend Burfict. Jones was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct while arguing with Porter and the Steelers, who were then within easy field goal range and made the game-winning kick.Jones was later seen crying on the sidelines after the emotional loss.The NFL later changed the rules to make it a penalty for assistant coaches to be on the field. Burfict was suspended for three games following his hit on Brown for repeated player safety violations. Brown made his feelings clear when asked about Burfict when he described him as an idiot on the Dan Patrick Show later that offseason.Perhaps the Bengals feel there has been enough talking after two straight losses to the Steelers. Their locker room is remaining silent.At least for now.
