2. Bearing Down
The first half which saw the Bengals score 17 of their eventual 20 points also saw the Bengals rack up 253 total yards, and they did just about anything they wanted in building a 14-point lead.
The second half though was a much different story, as they held the Bengals to just 100 total yards in the second half, and 13 in the final quarter when they outscored the Bengals 13-0.
Consider how banged up they were, and the players on defense they lost throughout the night, it was quite a turnaround, as the Steelers held the Bengals to a field goal and four punts in the second half as they rallied.
The Bengals gained just 25 yards in their last three possessions, not scoring once, while the Steelers scored all three times, two field goals and a touchdown, and gained 193 yards in those three drives.
Use any word you want to describe this teams’ heart, but it was on full display once again Monday night on the road with their backs against the wall.

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 .
