The Cincinnati Bengals secured a vital 19-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, who completed 37 of 46 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. This win marked the Bengals' fifth consecutive victory, improving their record to 9-8 and keeping their playoff hopes alive. The Bengals need favorable outcomes in other games on Sunday to clinch a playoff spot.

Despite the loss, the Steelers have already secured a wild card position. Russell Wilson threw for 148 yards and a touchdown but could not lead a comeback in the final moments. The Bengals' first-quarter performance set the tone, with Burrow connecting with Ja'Marr Chase for a touchdown.
