Analysis: Defense, Finley combine to take down the 11-2 Steelers

The 11-game losing streak is history.

The Cincinnati Bengals hadn’t beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers since Nov. 1, 2015. They now have a victory over the division-rival Steelers in 2020.

In front of a national primetime audience, the Cincinnati Bengals shocked the NFL world and upset the heavily favored Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 on Monday night.

Cincinnati jumped out to a 17-0 first-half lead and Zac Taylor’s club was able to hang on in the second half. Monday’s upset victory was easily the biggest win of Taylor’s head coaching career.

Taylor is 5-24-1 now as Cincinnati's head coach.
