ANDREW WHITWORTH: 'I WILL ALWAYS BE A BENGAL AT HEART'
Andrew Whitworth, the Bengals' great left tackle who anchored three AFC North championships and six playoff berths, pulls double duty Thursday night when another division drama unfolds at Paycor Stadium with the first-place Steelers.
Whitworth, 43, a Prime analyst, has been tapped as the Ruler of The Jungle to celebrate his 11 seasons, three Pro Bowls and 168 games in stripes. A total of 22 pad-popping games of ecstasy and agony came against the Steelers in matchups like Thursday, where the only thing on the line is everything.
He spent some time this week talking to Bengals.com senior writer Geoff Hobson about the rivalry and the impact it had on the Bengals, as well as the emotions of taking the throne. |
