PITTSBURGH (AP) -Defensive back Anthony Smith is so certain the Pittsburgh Steelers will end the New England Patriots' unbeaten season, he is guaranteeing a win Sunday in Foxborough. The Patriots (12-0) may have the perfect record, Smith said Wednesday, but it should be New England that is worried about the Steelers (9-3) rather than the other way around. ``People keep asking me if we're ready for the Patriots,'' Smith said. ``They should be asking if they're ready for us.'' Is Smith so confident that he |

| ften is the longest practice of the week. For the New England Patriots, this Wednesday was a rarity: a day off. With the Patriots (12-0) not back to their normal work week following a third consecutive night game Monday, and with the challenging Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) up next on Sunday, coach Bill Belichick chose not to practice. Belichick, speaking on a conference call, said it wasn't because his players are worn out - even though he told WEEI radio the Patriots were ``a tired team'' after staging a fran |

The Bengals are just 4-8 on the season and are coming off a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -This game has been on the Pittsburgh Steelers' minds for weeks and, finally, they can talk about it. The Steelers (9-3) are convinced they can ruin New England's perfect season, and they were secretly rooting for the Patriots (12-0) to stay unbeaten so they would have the chance to do exactly that Sunday in Foxborough. They know something about stopping New England streaks, too, having halted a record Patriots run only three years ago and, with it, the possibility of an undefeated season.

| (Best E Casino) - Sunday night's nationally-televised matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals represented a three-hour long scouting assignment for America's viewing public. Did the Steelers, who have been dominant at times in 2007 and shaky at others, have the goods to take out the mighty New England Patriots in a week's time? Yes and no, says America. The Steelers were 24-10 home winners over the Bengals, moving to 9-3 and reducing their magic number in the AFC North to two games, thanks |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney was among the first to shake Hines Ward's hand after Ward claimed his latest team pass receiving record, erasing Hall of Famer John Stallworth's name yet again. Of course, Ward could have returned the favor by congratulating Rooney for making one of the wisest draft picks in team history. Ward's two touchdown catches during the Steelers' 24-10 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday night gave him 64 for his 10-season career, one more than Stallworth had from |

| Pittsburgh, PA (Best E Casino) - The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely be without the services of wide receiver Santonio Holmes, safety Troy Polamalu, and left tackle Marvel Smith when they take on the division-rival Bengals on Sunday night. Holmes has already been listed as out for Sunday with a sprained ankle that kept him out of last week's 3-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. Polamalu also missed the Dolphins game with a sprained knee.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Maybe it was overlooked in all the post-monsoon talk about terrible fields, missed national anthems, record rainfalls and ankle-deep mud. The Pittsburgh Steelers, a division leader with eight wins and reasonable expectations of making a deep playoff run, came perilously close to losing to a winless team one week after being beaten by a one-win team. Sure, the Steelers (8-3) waded through one of the swampiest playing fields in NFL history to beat the Dolphins 3-0 Monday on a last-minute fiel |
