Coming of a big 34-11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday at Acrisure Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive in the tough AFC, snapping a three-game losing streak in the process.
The win over the Bengals was an impressive one for the Steelers, no doubt. Pittsburgh scored 24 first-half points for the first time since 2018 and scored 30-plus points for the first time since Week 11 of the 2022 season. Backup quarterback Mason Rudolph, making his first start since 2021, turned in an impressive performance, throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns, while the Steelers intercepted Cincinnati quarterback Jake Browning three times.
