The Pittsburgh Steelers’ big win over the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday should be remembered for all the right reasons. A complete team effort. An offense making splash plays, a defense taking the ball away, Chris Boswell making another 50-plus yard field goal, the 30th in his career.
The only moment at Acrisure Stadium that gave anyone pause was the Bengals first offensive play of the second half. QB Jake Browning hit WR Tee Higgins over the middle for an 80-yard touchdown, a play similar to George Pickens’ score on Pittsburgh’s first dropback.
Thankfully and crucially, the Steelers answered those points with points of their own, another long Pickens score, and cruised the rest of the way.
