Bengals Win Against The Steelers They Still Need Playoff Help
With the possibility of still making the playoffs the Cincinnati Bengals came out firing on all cylinders. It looked as if the Pittsburgh Steelers had no answer on how to stop them or how to move the ball themselves. Burrow had his team moving down field and making it look easy; however, that momentum didn’t last. And although the Bengals held on for the win against the Steelers they still need playoff help. Primarily losses by Denver and Miami tomorrow.
Cincinnati came out throwing the ball to open the game and Joe Burrow connected with several receivers. Tight end Mike Gesicki had a couple of double digit receiving yard catches. And Ja’Marr Chase caught the 12-yard touchdown pass. The Steelers opening drive was disastrous as it began with a three-yard run, an incomplete pass and a 9-yard sack. They punted and the Bengals moved down the field again. But the Steelers’ defense sacked Burrow on 3rd & 6 at PIT 26 and the Bengals kicked a 48-yard field goal. The defensive stop brought the Pittsburgh offense alive. Najee Harris ran the ball effectively and he scored the 1-yard touchdown run.
Cincinnati’s hot start quickly cooled off as they turned the ball over on downs on their next possession. After that the Steelers went three and out and punted. The Bengals also had to punt after another Burrow sack. However, on the punt return Calvin Austin fumbled the ball and it was recovered by the Bengals. But a few plays later Burrow was intercepted. The Steelers couldn’t capitalize, unable to convert 4th & 1 at PIT 37. Nevertheless, Cincinnati made the Steelers pay for the turnover with a 27-yard field goal. Pittsburgh’s offense was unproductive while the Bengals’ offense missed opportunities to score. At halftime, the Bengals led 13-7.

Pittsburgh’s offense continued to be sluggish going three and out to start the third quarter. But the Bengals started the third quarter with a 35-yard field goal. They looked like they did on their opening drive of the game. After the Steelers punted again the Bengals scored a 23-yard field goal. But again they couldn’t sustain the momentum. Pittsburgh found their identity and scored a touchdown in just under three minutes in the fourth quarter. Both teams punted after that but the Steelers went on to score a 54-yard field goal. The urgency picked up as the Bengals’ lead had been trimmed to 19-17.
The Bengals had a quick three and out leaving the door open for Pittsburgh. But the Steelers couldn’t score turning the ball over on downs. Now the Bengals will have to wait to see what happens tomorrow.
