As the Bengals prepare for their first of two games this season against the Steelers Cincinnati Bengals T-Shirt , the most anticipated matchup within that matchup is between Bengals cornerback William Jackson and Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Jackson has been one of the best-kept secrets in the NFL. Despite the constant ravings of Pro Football Focus and Bengals fans, the national media did not seem to notice Jackson’s incredible season in 2017. The Ringer’s Kevin Clark did, and he asked Jackson why he felt he wasn’t getting the attention he deserved. “Guys get notoriety when their team is good, or they talk trash,” Jackson told Clark. “I’m not here to say, ‘Oh, he’s sorry.’”He may not be cocky, but he is certainly confident. When asked if he thought he was better than Brown he said, “Of course. I think I’m the best player on the planet. You cannot play this game if you think you’re not.”Jackson has certainly looked better in his two career meetings with the star receiver. In those two games Cincinnati Bengals Hats , Jackson held Brown to zero receptions on eight targets. It was nothing personal for Jackson, who looks at all matchups the same way, but shutting down Brown did give the young cornerback some well-deserved attention. As Jackson put it, “I got a lot of great buzz because he’s a great receiver. I don’t expect anyone to catch the ball on me, not just him. It was fun to get that buzz.”Jackson is questionable to play against Brown and the Steelers after being limited in practice all week with a knee injury, so the rematch between him and Brown is in jeopardy. If he can’t go, Brown will have a much easier time hauling in passes from Ben Roethlisberger.But if Jackson gets the green light, this could be the national coming out party that Jackson fans have been waiting for. Bengals fans will always complain about officiating when they play against the Steelers, and it’s often for good reason. It always seems like the officials let the Steelers get away with whatever they can Cincinnati Bengals Hoodie , while they call non-existent penalties on the Bengals.Well this time, Bengals fans are not the only ones complaining. Dozens of fans and sports personalities are all claiming the Steeler won on a blown call. Even SB Nation’s resident Steelers fan admitted the Bengals were screwed...Needing a defensive stop with a brutally banged-up secondary and less than two minutes to go, the Bengals defense was holding onto a one-point lead late in the game. Ben Roethlisberger connected with Antonio Brown on a catch-and-run for 31 yards. That score would decide the game, as the Bengals would lose 28-21. But it appears that the Steelers were aided by an illegal block.Steelers wide receiver Justin Hunter appears to have blocked cornerback Tony McRae, keeping McRae out of Brown’s way to the end zone. While picks are sometimes permissible if the contact looks incidental, Hunter had clearly had no intention of running a route on that play.In short, because Hunter kept blocking well after the ball was thrown, the officials should have called pass interference.The pick might not have changed the outcome of the game if called. The Steelers had two timeouts, so they probably would have been able to kick a field goal as time expired and win the game regardless. Though Customized Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys , Chris Boswell has been shaky this year.Still, it would be nice if the officials called a fair game in this series for once. This was just one of many questionable calls throughout the contest in a game in which the Bengals were hit hard with injuries.UPDATE: NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron defended his officials’ call, saying a Bengals defender initiated the contact, which is VERY iffy to say.This, from a Steelers fan...Update 2: Veteran NFL referee Terry McAulay who now works for NBC and Sunday Night Football says the play should have resulted in a foul on the Steelers.Update 3: On Monday, Marvin Lewis said he believes it should have been a penalty. But added, “it wasn’t called and that’s all that matters.”
