Another weird, wild game for all the wrong reasons. Let’s talk about this 41-10 drubbing.
– In their 105 career meetings, regular season and playoffs, the 41 points put up by Cincinnati tie for the second most ever against Pittsburgh. It equals a 41-10 loss the Steelers had in 1989, fresh off a 51-0 loss to the Browns the week before (remarkably, Chuck Noll led that team to the playoffs). It’s only been bettered once in 1988, when the Bengals had 42. Cincinnati could’ve easily put that number up today if they wanted to.
– The 31-point loss is their largest defeat since 2016 when they lost to the Eagles 34-3.
