Let's take our weekly look back at the week that was in the NFL for week 7.
The Pittsburgh Steelers improve their report card with a much-needed win over the Cincinnati Bengals, 24-17, in the AFC North. Read how the Steelers were able to improve to 3-3 on the season in this positional breakdown.
Every Monday morning, 93.7 The Fan Steelers Insider, and Post-Gazette beat writer, Ed Bouchette joins the Fan Morning Show.
CINCINNATI (93-7 THE FAN) -- Their first three road games followed a familiar script, but, fortunately for the Steelers, so did this one.
CINCINNATI (93-7 THE FAN) -- Perhaps, of all the Tomlin-isms we've heard lo these five-plus years, "the standard is the standard" is the one both quoted and satirized the most. In any event, it's the one that backup running back Jonathan Dwyer apparently takes to heart.
CINCINNATI (93-7 THE FAN) -- Cornerback Ike Taylor downplayed whatever disconnect existed between him and the local media after the Steelers pulled out a much-needed 24-17 win over AFC North rival Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium Sunday night.
CINCINNATI (93-7 THE FAN) -- The local media became an easy target for Ike Taylor leading up to Sunday, while, at the same time, Taylor had become an easy target for opposing QB's. But head coach Mike Tomlin was satisfied with his performance in a 24-17 Steeler victory against the host Bengals.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Ben Roethlisberger threw one touchdown pass, and the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame their injury-depleted running game to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 24-17 on Sunday night.
KDKA Radio's Rob Pratte was joined by several local sports figures to talk about the Steelers, the NHL lockout and all things Pittsburgh sports on this week's edition of Black and Gold Sunday.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Bill Belton ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns and surging Penn State throttled Iowa 38-14 on Saturday night for its fifth straight win.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- The final touchdown pass drew only a slight fist pump from Collin Klein. It was still the third quarter, but Milan-Puskar Stadium was half-empty. Most of the West Virginia fans had seen enough of a game that had turned into a Heisman Trophy campaign ad for the Kansas State quarterback.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Rushel Shell welcomed the wind and the rain, because he understood the conditions were ideal for the Pittsburgh Panthers to find a spark from their sagging run game.

Seems like we've done this before. Just two weeks ago, the Steelers were facing a must-win game against the Eagles. They passed that test only to stumble and lose any momentum in a come-from-ahead loss at Tennessee. That loss dropped the Steelers to 2-3.
The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-3) will be without five key players against the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3) in their first divisional game Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals are dealing with a rash of injuries of their own.
