It was yet another godly play from the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, but the Steelers could only muster a field goal out of it. Watt, the agonizing demon he is, intercepted Burrow for the second time this season at the line of scrimmage to give the Steelers excellent field position. The offense was experiencing a 62% success rate when dropping back to pass for the whole half.īack in the lead #CINvsPIT | CBS /U7hxZJZCnt- Cincinnati Bengals November 20, 2022īut these are the Steelers, and they never go away easily.

The coldest game of the Bengals’ season thus far had a surprisingly high-scoring first half. Tee Higgins led the offense in receiving with 148 yards on nine receptions. Six different receivers were recipients of 20+ yard passes, and Samaje Perine ended up with three touchdowns through the air. He racked up 355 yards, becoming the third-fastest quarterback to 10,000 in his career, and four touchdowns. Both of his two turnovers were impacted by the defense timing his throws, but there was so much more good than bad from No. Interceptions stemming from Steelers’ defensive lineman continued to be a theme like it was back in Week 1. Joe Burrow had an eventful afternoon playing without Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon for the second half. 37 points is the second-most the franchise has ever scored in Pittsburgh, and their last four wins have now featured at least 30 on the scoreboard.
