The Cincinnati Bengals kicked off their five-game losing streak with the Pittsburgh Steelers and ended it with them as well.
Entering halftime up 17-0, the Bengals fanbase were gifted an early Christmas present in the form of a win over their rivals. The Bengals looked sharp defensively, holding the Steelers to just 17 points, all in the second half.
Although Ryan Finley, who took over for Brandon Allen, failed to eclipse 100 yards passing, he made up for it with 40 on the ground, oftentimes spurring the Bengals offense. He made big-time throws at absolutely crucial times.
