CINCINNATI -- Like many times over the last four seasons, things looked fraught for the Cincinnati Bengals before Trey Hendrickson intervened.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers driving late in their Week 18 game against Cincinnati and the Bengals needing a win to keep playoff hopes afloat, Hendrickson provided a bit of comfort. He sacked Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson on second down, a play that contributed to Cincinnati's final defensive stop of the night in a 19-17 win.

Even if the victory wasn't enough to get the Bengals in the playoffs, it served as a lasting reminder at what Hendrickson provides to Cincinnati's defense.
