Steelers Lose Shazier to Scary Injury, Overcome Bengals 23-20 to Move to 10-2

1. Playing with Emotion

The Steelers seemed to be sleepwalking or maybe a better term would be shell shocked after the team lost Ryan Shazier to a scary first quarter injury that saw him have to be taken to a local hospital.

The Bengals marched up and down the field, and the Steelers offense didn’t do much until the final seconds of the first half to make anyone think they would have any business coming back.

In the second half, and mostly the fourth quarter, the black and gold used their energy in a positive way, getting at Andy Dalton, not allowing the Bengals offense to do much, and scoring three times to pull out the win.

By the time the team got the ball back in the last two minutes with the game tied at 20, it was almost a matter of fact they would drive down and kick the game winning field goal.

They did everything right, and when the ball sailed through the uprights, it was a huge sigh of relief that the team was able to get out of Cincy at 10-2 instead of 9-3.

    Jay , you are one insensitive , heartless poor excuse for a human being . The Steelers , lost one of their best players on their roster to what could be not only a career ending injury , but a life changing injury for him and his family . Ryan Shazier , is a young player who like most players doesnt always play with proper technique . That changes with age and experience . However , to say he brought it on himself with no regard for the mans life , you’re an idiot and like I said before , you have no buisness being on this site . Youre not a fan of the team or the players , so why the hell are you here ? I bet if that was a member of your very own family laying their on the ground unable to feel their legs due to a major injury , your response wouldnt be , ole well , they brought it on theirselves . Then again , with the way you act on this site , you probably would .
