Sometimes you win a football game despite not playing very well. This was the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend with their 16-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Nevertheless, this game was defined by several big plays and big efforts. But who was the best?

This is the largest pool of players we’ve ever used for a poll like this. But it really illustrates just how this game was won based on a series of big plays that either swung the momentum in Pittsburgh’s favor or shut down any momentum the Bengals might have had.
If we had a vote, we’d probably go with kicker Chris Boswell over anyone else. The defensive players sort of cancel each other out and while several guys were huge, none really stood above the rest for me. Same for the offense. But Boswell was so money. He accounted for 10 of the Steelers 16 points and bailed out an anemic offense on three drives.
