It was supposed to be a get-right game against a two-win team, the perfect stage on Monday Night Football to stop a two-game skid and reclaim the AFC North crown for the first time since 2017.
Instead, it was an embarrassment.
Rather than clinching the division, the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped their third straight in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, which snapped the Steelers' 11-game win streak against the franchise.
The Steelers entered Monday's game as 14.5-point favorites. With the loss, they matched their largest upset defeat since 1966.
