NEW HALL OF HONOR BANNER
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to honor three Steelers greats in Joey Porter Sr., Ben Roethlisberger and Maurkice Pouncey on Monday Night Football with their Hall of Honor ceremony. The official induction took place on Sunday, but they get their public nod during halftime of the game in front of a national audience.
Pouncey shared a photo of the new Hall of Honor banner that is hanging in the stadium. It looks nice.

PHILIP RIVERS’ RETURN
Philip Rivers not only played in his first game since 2020, he came very close to winning it. The high-flying Seattle Seahawks needed six field goals, including a game-winning 56-yarder to clinch victory.
Rivers completed 18 of his 27 pass attempts for 120 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He only took one sack for two yards. All things considered, it was a decent return.
BENGALS STADIUM VIOLATES RULE
The Cincinnati Bengals failed both on and off the field today. In a day when they were shut out and eliminated from playoff contention, they also violated an NFL policy at their stadium, per Mike Florio. It snowed, and they made no effort to clear seats or walkways, which is required by the league.
“Seat aisles were prioritized and are in good shape. Seats are easily wiped off and ushers are equipped to help there,” the Bengals said in response to Pro Football Talk’s inquiry.
We will see if anything comes of this. Their team and their stadium staff both gave up. It’s fitting.
