The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up their ninth win of the 2024 season with a 44-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The victory gives the Steelers a 1.5-game lead in the AFC North over the Baltimore Ravens.
Russell Wilson tore into the Bengals’ defense for what was a career day, not only in the black and gold but in the veteran quarterback’s 13 years in the NFL.
Wilson would also throw for three touchdowns, as the Steelers scored over 40 points for the first time since the 2018 season. (October 7th, 2018 against the Atlanta Falcons.) Not only were the Steelers’ 44 points impressive from that standpoint, but many sportsbooks and casinos, including Ontario’s top choice for real money games, had the over/under line set at 47 points.
While Wilson connected on three touchdown passes to George Pickens, Calvin Austin, and Pat Freiermuth, he would also spread the ball around plenty in this game.
This game featured a wild amount of penalties, including many that were not accepted! Of the accepted penalties, the Steelers were penalized nine times for 103 yards while the Bengals were tagged eleven times for 101 yards.
