Steelers vs. Bengals, Week 7: Bengals self-destruct in 24-17 loss

The Cincinnati Bengals appeared to be in the process of leapfrogging the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, but had trouble keeping up with the Steelers as the game progressed on Sunday night. Eventually, the Bengals lost 24-17 at home and now fall to 3-4.

After going up 14-3 on A.J. Green's touchdown, Cincinnati managed only a field goal and failed to keep the Steelers offense down.

It was a disappointing effort in game that had a lot of importance, according to Cincy Jungle:

A mistake-plagued team, often faced with imminent self-destruction leaving a wake of postgame comments with cliched "we'll get better" that's both disbelieving and tired.

The Bengals passing game especially was lackluster as quarterback Andy Dalton manged only 105 yards on 14-of-28 passing. Ryan Whalen led the receiving corps with four catches for 31 yards, but bobbled away a pass in the fourth quarter. Green, who has been a top receiver this season, was held to only one catch for eight yards on six targets.

Cincinnati now heads into a bye week before hosting the Denver Broncos in Week 9.

Steelers vs. Bengals, Week 7: Steelers get clutch performances in first road win

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't looked like the usual Steelers this season. That wasn't the case on Sunday night when Pittsburgh used a strong running game and tough defense to earn a 24-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.

For as much as the Steelers have been plagued by injuries on the offensive line and at running back, it didn't seem to make much of a difference against the Bengals. Left guard Willie Colon opened up holes for the running game all night, allowing Jonathan Dwyer to rush for 122 yards, giving Pittsburgh its first 100-yard rusher this season.

On defense, cornerback Ike Taylor blanketed wide receiver A.J. Green, according to Behind the Steel Curtain:

Taylor sounded off on his weekly radio show about criticism he's received lately and he turned in one of the finest performance of his career. He played disciplined, aggressive football, not committing a penalty, and challenging one of the game's best receivers.

Taylor held Green in check, allowing only one catch (though it was a touchdown) for eight yards on six targets. The game marked the worst performance of the season for Green, who had at least five receptions and 58 yards in every game prior to Sunday.

The Steelers, now with "new breath," will look to go over .500 when they face the Washington Redskins at home in Week 8.
