Marcus Gilbert fires back at Pacman Jones, rips Bengals
By Steve DelVecchio
UPDATE: Pacman Jones responded to Marcus Gilbert with another video on social media, which he's already deleted. The folks at Steelers Depot preserved a copy. He also tweeted that he tried to reach out to Gilbert via phone this morning, to no avail.
The hatred between the Steelers and Bengals reached its boiling point on Sunday, and Pittsburgh offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert is hoping the two teams face off again this season.
Lmao all these tweets , but when I call you @MarcusGilbert88 you hang up . I'm trying to see what's the problem ..

The Steelers and Bengals have always been rivals, but there has been even more animosity this season after Vontaze Burfict was accused of having a classless reaction to Le’Veon Bell’s season-ending knee injury. Burfict later got into it on Twitter with a Pittsburgh player, and Bengals veteran Andrew Whitworth said Sunday that Roger Goodell is to blame for the pregame scuffle that broke out.
Now that Andy Dalton could be out for the season, it’s unclear where Cincinnati stands. We don’t blame Gilbert for wanting to face the Bengals in the playoffs.
