Following each game in the 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers season, I will highlight the event, or string of events, in the game that was the turning point. Not all turning points will be earth-shattering but are meant to give a unique look at how we arrived at the outcome of the game, one that may be hard to see during the live watch.
The final score of 34-12 suggested a complete blowout victory for the Steelers over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, but it was a one-point game after the opening drive of the second half. The Bengals drove down the field for a field goal to make it 10-9 in favor of Pittsburgh.
