The Cincinnati Bengals secured a crucial 19-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, keeping their playoff aspirations alive. To reach the postseason, the Bengals are relying on the New York Jets to either beat or tie the Miami Dolphins, alongside the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Denver Broncos.

Despite struggling offensively with only one touchdown, the Bengals' four field goals and a solid defensive performance were enough for victory. The Steelers' offense faltered, failing to reach 200 yards as they head into the playoffs.
