I thought this was obvious. Teryl Austin even came out and said he took the gamble and it just didn't work out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I recall, the Steelers were on the edge of FG range. Austin likely wanted to be aggressive to either get the sack to force the Steelers out of FG range or at least try to force an errant throw such that Boswell had to go for a 50+ yarder. He didn't want to give up like 5 yards to allow the Steelers a shorter FG because it likely would have resulted in the Steelers still taking the lead but less time on the clock for the Bengals to try to come back on a final drive.
