00:00If there was ever going to be a time for Cincy to save its season, it was yesterday at home

00:09booked as a field goal favorite at close against their rivals in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:15But instead, the Steelers show their ilk atop the division in extending that lead and doing

00:22so in a shootout where it was really the story of Cincy's season, an offense that can keep

00:29pace with anybody led by Joe Burrow, but a defense that can just simply not make a stop

00:36when needed.

00:3744-38, Pittsburgh victorious outright as a field goal underdog on the road in Cincinnati.

00:44A total of 46 and a half stood no chance.

00:47It goes over.

00:48Yeah, smoke the over in that point.

00:50In case in point, I'm actually not mad at myself that I picked Cincinnati yesterday

00:53minus two and a half.

00:54I'm actually upset that I didn't take any profits away from this game because that's

00:57really where I should have been looking because both of these offenses were getting after

01:00both quarterbacks to 38 times.

01:02There was room to run on the ground wide receivers getting to have at the Pittsburgh Steelers

01:0510 different players caught passes yesterday for at least 10 yards.

01:09That's incredible.

01:10And look at the absolute use.

01:11It's like, hey, one guy goes eight catches, 168 yards and two touchdowns, pickings all

01:16the way down 74-68, 55-54, 43-37, 29-23, 21-10.

01:21You got to be kidding me.

01:22Russ really was cooking yesterday, 414 yards.

01:26That's what you're supposed to do to that Cincinnati defense.

01:28And also it was the perfect spot for the Bengals.

01:30Asked yesterday, what did you think about the rest of the Bengals season?

01:33I thought they needed to go one and two in this three game stretch, which ended up going

01:36oh and three.

01:37The one game they needed to win certainly was the Pittsburgh Steelers game coming off

01:40the bye.

01:41But even if they did win that game, we knew that defense was going to rear its head down

01:44the season.

01:45Oh, they can win this game.

01:46They can win that game.

01:47No, look at the way they've been playing these football games where it's all on Joe Burrow

01:50to basically throw for 500 yards and five touchdowns just to give them a chance, not

01:54in a blowout victory.

01:55So I didn't know if the Cincinnati Bengals would still make the playoffs, but I thought

01:58the spot was great yesterday.

01:59But again, credit to Pittsburgh Steelers saying, you know what?

02:02We probably want to win games in a lower scoring form, make the correct plays on offense, run

02:06the football.

02:07If you need to engage in the shootout, Russell Wilson was there for you yesterday.

02:10He was sensational spreading the football around.

02:12And he also got a pretty good running game at a Najee Harris, 16 carries, 75 yards and

02:16a touchdown.

02:17Credit to the Steelers.

02:18I didn't think they'd win that game.

02:20They were the better team yesterday and they won.

02:21By the way, 44-38, that wasn't really the final score though, even though it shows

02:25there, that game was much, much better for the Pittsburgh Steelers side.
