Not to mention the non-call on the late hit on Burrow, and missing Minkah blatantly holding Hurst’s arm on another play.
There was some serious home cooking by the officials today.
Sure, but even then the Bengals defense by no way played well today. In non-Bengals games this year, the Steelers are averaging 14.6 points per game. The Steelers had 0 TDs of 10+ yards all season, and then they got 2 today and Pickens dropped a walk-in 3rd. Pickett came into today with 2 TDs/8 INTs and the Bengals couldn't hold onto any of the couple INTs he threw.
I'm glad they got the W, they absolutely needed to go 2-0 against the Panthers/Steelers to keep their season alive, and they did. We just can't pretend the defense played well today. Pickett, Harris, and the Steelers Offense as a whole all had their best games of the year today.
