Surging Bengals survive slumping Steelers to keep playoff hopes alive

The Bengals are haning on to playoff dreams after edging the Steelers

The Cincinnati Bengals helped themselves. Now they will need help on Sunday from the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets.

The Bengals downed the Pittsburgh Steelers 19-17 in an AFC North thriller on Saturday.

Trey Hendrickson had 3.5 sacks and Cade York kicked four field goals as the Bengsls won their fifth straight to end the regular season.

The Bengals need the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets to beat the Miami Dolphins (or a tie game) to get the wild-card spot.

The Bengals led 19-7 in the fourth quarter only to see the Steelers rally for 10 points.

Pittsburgh, which has lost four in a row, had a final drive to try and win it on a field goal. However, there was questionable time management by Russell Wilson and some incompletions that doomed the possible comeback.

The Bengals remain alive in the AFC playoff hunt thanks to Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins

A stirring Saturday game between the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati saw the Bengals get an overtime touchdown on a pass from Joe Burrow to Tee Higgins for a 30-24 victory.

The win was the Bengals’ fourth straight and kept them in the AFC wild-card race. A win or tie would have given the Broncos the final AFC playoff spot.

The game was seesaw and it saw the Broncos get a TD with eight seconds left in regulation on a pass from Bo Nix to Marvin Mims Jr.

The PAT tied the game at 24. For a moment, it looked like Sean Payton was contemplating going for a two-point conversion and the win but he opted to kick the PAT.

The teams had multiple possessions in the extra session. Bengals kicker Cade York had a 33-yard field goal attempt for the win but hit the left upright.

A Broncos drive stalled and Joe Burrow led the game-winning march that concluded with 1:07 left on a three-yard pass to Higgins.

Higgins had 11 catches for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the dramatic win.

The Bengals face the Steelers in Week 18. The Broncos play the Kansas City Chiefs. The Indianapolis Colts also figure into the mix.

Being a celebrity has its risks. The most recent example is Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow. His home was broken into on Monday while the Bengals were playing the Cowboys.

WLWT reported the news on Tuesday:

One 911 caller said her daughter was staying at the home.

“Someone is trying to break into the house right now. My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside,” the caller said. “She said someone was in the house.”

That woman’s daughter then called 911.

“Someone broke into my house,” she said. “It’s like completely messed up.”

The report added a bedroom window was broken and the room was ransacked. This despite a security officer was working.

The game saw 69 points scored. Yet, it came down to one play. And, of course, controversy followed.

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 35-34, on Thursday.

The Bengals scored a late touchdown on a pass from Joe Burrow to Ja’Marr Chase.

Cincy coach Zac Taylor decided to go for a two-point conversion and the win.

The pass to Tanner Hudson was incomplete.

Burrow’s head/helmet was contacted by a Raven pass rusher. No flag on that, either.

The Bengals were upset no penalties were called as they fell to 4-6.
