Bengals' playoff hopes all but gone after blowing 17-point lead to Steelers

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals stood and watched as their season imploded before their eyes.

With everything on the line, the Bengals inexplicably blew a 17-point lead, courtesy of Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell. Bengals rookie cornerback William Jackson, perhaps scared off by a penalty for a block out of bounds earlier in the game, stood and watched as Bell toed the sideline, running in for a 35-yard score.

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell kicked a 38-yard field goal as the game expired to beat the Bengals, 23-20.
