Bengals stay alive for playoffs with win over Steelers, whose late-season slide continues

Cincinnati: The Bengals pulled off a much-needed win against the Steelers, keeping their playoff hopes flickering. Joe Burrow was on fire, leading the team with some solid throws.

The Steelers, on the other hand, are in a rough patch. They’ve lost four straight games and just can’t seem to find their rhythm. It’s like they’ve hit a wall. They had a chance to win this one, but their offense just couldn’t get it together when it mattered most.

Burrow and the Bengals jumped out to an early lead, and even though the Steelers tried to fight back, they just couldn’t catch a break. A missed fourth-down pass summed up their struggles. It’s been a tough month for Pittsburgh, and they’re really feeling the pressure.

Now, the Bengals are hoping for some help from other teams to sneak into the playoffs. They need a couple of wins from the Chiefs and Jets to make it happen. It’s a long shot, but hey, they’re still in the game.

As for the Steelers, they’re heading into the playoffs but don’t look like a team that can make a deep run. They’ve got to figure things out fast if they want to have any chance against the Ravens next week. It’s going to be an interesting finish to the season for both teams.
