The Cincinnati Bengals were playing to keep their playoff dreams alive. The Pittsburgh Steelers were playing for playoff position in the AFC. The first move on Saturday went to the Bengals and they drove for a touchdown.

The Bengals struck first and fast against Pittsburgh thanks to a red-hot Joe Burrow. The Bengals passer started 6-6 through the air and hit Ja'Marr Chase for a 12-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead on Saturday night.

Bengals star Joe Burrow enters what could be his final game of the season holding the quarterback triple crown, leading the league in completions (423), passing yards (4,641) and touchdowns (42). While Burrow is barely cracking the MVP conversation due to the team's 8-8 record, his main focus remains on defeating the Steelers.
