Coming In: The Steelers were looking to avenge their week 14 loss at home for the Bengals. That was Ben’s first game back from his early season knee injury and was his shakey self in that first one back. The Bengals were favored by 3 and the way the Steelers offense has looked lately that was free money.
The Game: After the Steelers opened with a 7 point lead the Red Rocket was working his way down the field when he went full retard and threw an ugly interception.
This was especially bad because Andy dinged his throwing hand thumb on the tackle.
With that it became AJ McCarron’s team.
Which meant it was this Cincy broad’s Christmas list was up in flame.
It Was Over When: With a 16-7 lead, William Gay picked off AJ and earned every inch of an unsportsmanlike penalty with a TD dance that was a two parter with intermission in between.
Sure there was plenty of action after that pick six but the Steelers stayed in control throughout.
Hat tip: Down 16, Marvin Lewis elected to kick the field goal instead of going for it on 4th. Thank you Marv for taking a 2 TD gaame and making it a 2 TD game.
Meanwhile In Cleveland:
