The Cincinnati Bengals clinched a 19-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on a cold Saturday night, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Joe Burrow, despite a brief injury scare, returned to lead the Bengals with key passes to Ja’Marr Chase and Tanner Hudson, securing a crucial lead. The Bengals’ defense significantly improved, allowing only 193 total yards compared to 520 in their previous encounter with Pittsburgh. Cincinnati’s record now stands at 9-8, and they will secure the seventh AFC playoff seed if both the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins lose on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Steelers, already playoff-bound, ended their regular season with a fourth consecutive loss, finishing at 10-7. This marks them as the third team in NFL history to enter the playoffs on such a losing streak. The Steelers’ defense struggled, particularly in covering tight ends, who accounted for 102 of Burrow’s 277 passing yards. Despite the loss, Steelers’ defensive tackle Cam Heyward had a notable performance, leading all defensive tackles with 11 passes defended this season.
