Steelers to wear throwback unis vs. Bengals

The Steelers announced on Wednesday they will wear their 1934 throwback uniforms for a Nov. 1 game against the Bengals at Heinz Field. Since the debut of the uniforms for a game against the Redskins in 2012, the Steelers are 3-1 in their so-called Bumblebee get-ups.

That fact escaped Cam Heyward, who appears to have some selective memory when it comes to the striped throwbacks.

“I’m undefeated in it,” said Heyward, who was drafted in 2011. “I think that when we get those jerseys on, it looks like a swarm of bees, and we’re pretty successful in it.”

Except the Steelers are not undefeated in those unis. The Steelers did beat the Redskins in 2012, the Lions in 2013 and the Colts last season, but Heyward forgot about a 2012 home loss to the Ravens.

With Byron Leftwich at quarterback for an injured Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers lost to the Ravens, 13-10, at Heinz Field.
