Twice a year, the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Steelers could have it their way, they’d play them 17 times.
No team has made Pittsburgh as right as Cincinnati. Not only did the Steelers sweep the season series for the first time in 2019, they looked good doing it. In Week 12, they struggled to finish drives and score points but moved the ball at will, their first 400-yard performance since 2020. The defense shut down the run, made timely splash plays, and won 16-10.
Yesterday’s win was even more convincing. Pittsburgh raced out to a 24-0 lead before Cincinnati got on the board.
