The Pittsburgh Steelers went into Cincinnati on Thursday night with a chance to take a commanding lead in the AFC North with a win over the Bengals. Instead, QB Joe Flacco on his third AFC North team threw for three touchdowns in a wild 33-31 win over his eternal rivals, the Steelers.
Even though Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions (one of which was definitely not his fault), the Steelers’ offense did its part for most of the game. Rodgers threw four touchdowns, and the run game had its best game of the year with 147 yards.
