One thing cost us that game

I guess I watched a different game. I saw a lot of things that prevented the win today, none of which were the Bengals final TD drive.

The OLine was an issue again. While I'm sure some were not counted as official, there were a lot of dropped passes by receivers. Mixon was averaging near 6 YPC and only got 11 rushes.

The DLine was non-existent. DreK gave up on at least 1 play that resulted in a big gain for Pittsburgh. Lack of turnovers; Hubbard could've potentially caught the tipped pass instead of tipping it up for Ben, Dennard had position and should've picked the pass that Schuster took from him, Burfict had a near pick, WJ3 dropped a pick, and Schuster recovered the lone fumble. That's 5 opportunities for turnovers and they couldn't create 1. Abysmal TE coverage.

That doesn't even get into the injuries, not going for it on 4th and 1 on Pittsburgh's 40, and coming out flat in the 3rd Quarter after tying the game at the end of the first half.

There was plenty that the Bengals could've done to win without getting into the last TD drive or the officials.
