The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 30-27 in a close AFC North divisional matchup. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Steelers' offense with 292 passing yards and three touchdowns, rebounding from a previous loss to New England. Running back Jaylen Warren contributed significantly with 176 total yards, including 127 rushing yards.
