ILB Ryan Shazier: In a game in which Ben Roethlisberger came back from a right shoulder injury to lead the winning field-goal drive, Shazier made a ton of big plays that helped the Steelers to their improbable victory. He had a game-high 13 tackles, including two for a loss, and forced two big fumbles. The first came with a big hit on Giovanni Bernard at the Steelers 25 that Shazier also recovered. Then, in an unfathomable gaffe by the Bengals, he forced a fumble on RB Jeremy Hill that CB Ross Cockrell recovered at the Steelers 9 that began the winning field goal drive.
