CINCINNATI -- Thursday night proved that anything can happen in the AFC North.
And that means the Cincinnati Bengals might still be in the mix for a potential playoff berth. Cincinnati took down the division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers in a 33-31 victory Thursday night at Paycor Stadium.
Coming into the prime-time showdown, Cincinnati had lost four straight games, and the Steelers, who lost just once this season, were threatening to open a commanding lead in the division.
Instead, the Bengals closed the gap. Behind a monstrous effort from wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who finished with 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown, Cincinnati's offense had its best showing of the season.
