Irres Touchdown-Festival in Cincinnati
Pittsburgh Steelers donnern Cincinnati Bengals in Playoffs-Not!
Bengals star Joe Burrow delivered again
Bengals with last hope?
NFL star Jow Burrow and his Bengals are once again chasing a weak start to the season, but still have a chance of making the playoffs. The home team can’t afford any more slip-ups. Recently they had another two defeats in a row and another one would probably put a stop to the season. Today’s tough guest: The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bengals start with Pick Six!
Dangerous for the Bengals: The Steelers are in a damn good mood. The boys from Pittsburgh already have eight wins to their credit – the Bengals only have four. The game is heated up by the fierce rivalry between the two teams.
But the anger in the stomach seems to be good for the home team! Defensive ace Cam Taylor-Britt obviously pushes opponent Pickens to the ground and that must be a flag. Instead, the cornerback has no problem at all picking the pass and carrying it back into the end zone. Very bitter for the guests, who now have to put up with it confidently. Great start for the home team! Star kicker Evan McPherson also got off to a good start and hit the extra kick between the bars.

First touchdown for the Bengals!
But the Steelers answer comes promptly, one play later. Najee Harris is the main actor of the drive, catching pass after pass from quarterback Wilson and almost single-handedly bringing his team into the red zone. When the running back is allowed to take a breather on the sideline, George Pickens jumps into the breach, breaks through to the left and walks into the end zone. Zack, it’s 7:7!

Steelers strike back
The touchdowns are just flying around the ears of the fans here – now the Bengals are back in control! As soon as he got into the opponent’s half, Chase Brown took off and could only be brought down at the 1-yard line. Seconds later he pushes himself into the end zone from a short distance. 14:7! And the first quarter still runs for about five minutes.

Touchdown-Festival in Cincinnati
The second quarter begins as the first quarter ended: with a touchdown! Calvin Austin is perfectly set up by his quarterback and catches the leather in the end zone – equalization! Steelers QB Russell Wilson already has 143 yards.
Reading tip: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce want to announce their engagement
Boom Boom Boom! Cincinnati is upping the ante in this fireworks display! Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. can’t keep his hands to himself twice and incurs pass interference penalties. So Burrow gets the gift of a visit in front of the end zone and knows how to use it with his offense. The decisive pass goes to Ja’Marr Chase and the Bengals lead again!

Are the Bengals running out of steam?
The third quarter then levels off significantly! The teams take a breather and save their energy for the big finale in the fourth quarter. The Bengals kick a field goal – the Steelers rush for a touchdown and a field goal. Score: 24:34 for the Steelers. The home team was under a lot of pressure at the start of the last quarter!

Gala performance by Russell Wilson
The decision comes 11 minutes before the end! The Bengals simply make too many mistakes in this phase and lose the ball in the person of Joe Burrow. The quarterback is sacked and loses the leather. Dayton Wilson picks up the pill and carries it into the end zone for a touchdown. Shortly beforehand, a pass from Burrow was deflected and intercepted at the line of scrimmage. Very very bitter. After a fireworks halftime, the possible end of the playoffs now comes! Crazy 3:27 run by the Steelers!
