Joe Burrow played well for most of the afternoon, completing 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns. Ja’Marr Chase had nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown, while Tee Higgins added six catches for 90 yards and a score. Mike Gesicki also caught a touchdown, and Cincinnati repeatedly answered Pittsburgh’s scoring drives.

The Bengals even took a 27-24 lead early in the fourth quarter when Burrow found Gesicki for a 25-yard touchdown on fourth down. At that point, Cincinnati appeared to have seized control. Instead, two costly special-teams mistakes helped swing the game. A roughing-the-punter penalty extended a Pittsburgh drive that eventually produced a touchdown, and a fourth-quarter punt muff gave the Steelers possession deep in Cincinnati territory. Pittsburgh turned that mistake into a field goal that tied the game.

The Steelers then put together the decisive drive. Aaron Rodgers connected with Darnell Washington for a 47-yard gain, setting up Chris Boswell’s go-ahead 33-yard field goal with just over two minutes remaining. Cincinnati still had an opportunity, but Burrow was sacked by Derrick Harmon with 53 seconds left and fumbled. Pittsburgh recovered, effectively ending the game.

For Cincinnati, the biggest takeaway is that the offense showed it can score with Pittsburgh, but the Bengals gave away too many opportunities. They committed six penalties and two turnovers, while Pittsburgh finished with 411 total yards to Cincinnati’s 352.

It was a tough AFC North loss, but Cincinnati leaves Pittsburgh at 2-1 with plenty of football remaining.
