CINCINNATI -- The way the Cincinnati Bengals dismantled the rival Pittsburgh Steelers wasn’t just cathartic for a franchise that has often been on the other side of a blowout in recent years, it was a release for an offense that desperately needed one.
Throughout this season, Cincinnati’s offense has often lacked rhythm. But after running back Joe Mixon scored from a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter, he and the offensive linemen were two-stepping in the end zone.
