Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati /
The most difficult thing for an athlete is to accept that the moment of retirement has arrived and definitely Ben Roethlisberger should contemplate it, since this Sunday he looked like a real NFL “retiree” on the worst beating the Pittsburgh Steelers have received from the Cincinnati Bengals in history with final score of 41-10.
The ridicule was such that Steelers only touchdown It came in the fourth quarter when the Bengals’ lead was 41-3 and with some substitutes already on the field. A huge red flag for a 5-5-1 franchise (yes, because tied with the Lions, the only ones who have not won in 2021).
Everything was shine for the Bengals, which with this result equaled the Steelers 41-10 in September 1989 with the biggest beating, in addition to break the NFL’s longest losing streak of back-to-back games without a defensive touchdownThanks to a “Pick Six” from Mike Hilton, who until last year was from Pittsburgh.
On the offensive Joe Mixon was an overland engine for those of The Queen City with 28 carries, 165 yards and two touchdowns. In the passing game, Tee Higgins surpassed 100 yards on six receptions and was also present in the end zone.
Quite the opposite with Pittsburgh, the aforementioned Big Ben with two interceptions, rookie running back Najee Harris with a measly 23 rushing yards and his defensive star, TJ Watt, totally missing with just one tackle.
With this, the Bengals swept into the two games of 2021 a los Steelers and they add three consecutive victories in the rivalry, to reach a 7-4 mark this year in the fight within the North Division with the Browns and Ravens, while those of Pittsburgh are last place.
