Upset win gives Bengals needed momentum heading toward crucial offseason

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals were listlessly floating toward the end of an uninspiring season until safety Vonn Bell interceded on Monday night.

A few moments after Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught a pass in the middle of the field, Bell lowered his shoulder through Smith-Schuster, jarring the ball loose and flooring the receiver in the process.

Not only was it the turning point in Cincinnati's 27-17 victory, but it could be another inflection point for the Bengals' season.
