Sometimes wins are a thing of beauty. Sometimes wins come via tough defense and perseverance. In their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, the Steelers were definitely more of the latter of these two types of games. The spark created from changing quarterbacks in the third-quarter gave the Steelers their lone touchdown. Other than the one specific drive, it was the defense that ruled the day with great support from a resurgent running game.
With the victory on Sunday coupled with other losses around the NFL, the Steelers are back into the final wild-card spot in the AFC playoff race.
