What just happened?
I’m not sure if this is real or not. Can somebody please pinch me? The 4-5 Pittsburgh Steelers traveled to Cincinnati to play the 10-0 Bengals. 10-0. The Undefeated Bengals. The handing out whoopings Bengals. The “standing on business” Bengals. Many would have said no chance the Steelers even made this a game. Well, the Steelers didn’t just make this a good game, but they also won the game. You read that correctly! The 4-5 Steelers walked into Cincinnati and upset the Bengals.
Rumor has it that both teams were having heated exchanges before they went out on the field. On the field, the game was just as intense. Social Media was going crazy during this game. Everyone on the edge of their seat. Let’s be honest, everyone hoping to see the top dawgs go down. And they got their wishes. In a questionable defensive call, the Bengals played the run and got beat on a streak to lose the game in overtime.
Kenny Pickett may just get a statue built for him in Pittsburgh after this game. He threw for 480 yards with 4 touchdown passes. A great game for a quarterback who has had big ups and big downs. No bigger up than this game right here. But if Kenny Pickett is getting a statue, then Najee Harris is getting a holiday. He had 5 total touchdowns today. 1 receiving touchdown and 4 rushing touchdowns! Insane! The Steelers still have a chance to make the playoffs, but they might have to win out. Regardless, they will be dancing their way back home, where they play the Cardinals next week.
For the Bengals, this is what comes with the territory. They are a great team, and many love to see the top dawgs fall. They are cocky, and many don’t like that. But that isn’t the Bengals’ problem. Yes, they took a loss today, but it’s not the playoffs. Talking to the Bengals coach before this week, he said that they only have one goal in mind. Win the Superbowl. So, to all the ones who were excited to see the Bengals lose, have a field day. But the Bengals are here to stay. And their goal is much more than a regular season game. They are guaranteed to make the playoffs, and there in the playoffs, business will be handled as usual.
