Former UNC football standout Giovani Bernard scores two touchdowns in Bengals’ upset win over Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals veteran running back Giovani Bernard had one of his most productive games of the season on Monday night, and it helped the AFC North’s last-place team to an upset victory over the slumping Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bernard has either been a backup or split carries for the majority of his eight-year NFL career, but he got starter’s snaps on Monday night that saw him carry the ball 25 times en route to 83 rushing yards and a touchdown.
