The Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday 30-27.<\/p>\n
QB Joe Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns. WR Ja’Marr Chase led the offense with nine receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown, while WR Tee Higgins added six catches for 90 yards and a score.<\/p>\n
The Bengals trailed 17-10 late in the first half before S Jordan Battle intercepted a tipped pass to set Cincinnati up in scoring position. Burrow hit Higgins for a circus-catch touchdown to tie the score at 17 going into the half.<\/p>\n
K Evan McPherson continued his strong start to 2026, hitting both field-goal attempts, including a 50-yarder.<\/p>\n
Burrow found TE Mike Gesicki for a fourth-down touchdown early in the fourth quarter to give the Bengals a 27-24 lead. A pair of field goals from K Chris Boswell put the Steelers back in front, and a Burrow fumble was recovered by Pittsburgh DE Sebastian Joseph-Day in the final minute ended the game.<\/p>\n
Ten of the Steelers’ points came off special teams miscues by Cincinnati, as the Bengals were called for roughing the punter to extend a Pittsburgh drive in the third quarter, then later muffed a punt in the fourth to set up the Steelers with a first-and-goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday 30-27.
