He said he told his team at the half it’s all about One play at a time he said defensively they opened up the game with two big plays we have to find a way to slow them down I asked him how they can get T Higgins the ball and get him

More involved on offense he said we need everyone involved right now Noah all right K team Zack teller knew that this was going to be a challenge he knew that this Steelers team was motivated and certainly AFC North matchups are always different he actually he said that there’s different rules based on which

Opponent you’ve got and I knew that ber especially defensively was not going to make that screen game easy and offensively he expected their best shot which they’ve got here’s a screen pass for Jaylen Warren on first down and Warren snakes his way through the defense spun down across the

30 well let’s take a look at our next gen stats powered by AWS George Pickins he was a big difference in the first half second play of the game beautiful route and then the explosiveness to run away from Defenders and then this catch in the second quarter 25% completion probability but with a

Guy like him I’m going to give that a 50/50 okay I think he’s a 50/50 guy on a play like that he’s just got such incredible hands body control you mentioned the word acrobatic contested catches we’ve seen him do it all Harris on the give second and four got stopped initially and then

Surges forward to make it third and one see this is the difference right now Zach Taylor was telling KT we’ve got to find way to slow them down stop them they have not been able to slow the run down and because of that Pittsburgh has had favorable third down situations and

It’s taken pressure off of Mason Rudolph and he’s not dropping back having to throw at every down because the running game they’ve had balance in their offensive attack so [Applause] far Henderson’s been fairly quiet went off for a couple of snaps before coming back in there third down and one to

Start this third quarter for Pittsburgh Harris up the gut and he plows forward for the first down you know it’s interesting with Naji Harris you hear anybody talk about him now they say he’s a power inside between the tackles north south Runner when he first went to

Alabama out of California he wanted to bounce everything he wanted to be a perimeter Runner and I think he’s realized with his body type and his style and the fact that the guys run real fast in this league he’s better off focusing on between the tackles and he

Is really enhance his game because of that haris up to 53 yards in the touchdown 5.3 yards per [Applause] carry Rudolph and he has a connection to Miles boyin see that’s kind of a change of pace boyin is normally in there when they’re running the football he is a

Blocking wide receiver they broke a tendency that time and threw it boyin not only is in there for a pass play but he gets the ball thrown his way has emerged as kind of a jack of all trades in some respects for this team Jake Browning has to patiently or really

Impatiently wait for his chance to get back out there and hope that his defense Can Come Away with a stop against the Pittsburgh offense that has looked probably the best they have all season H H Robinson the motion man on second and four another handoff for

Harris and he will bulldoze his way to the [Applause] 45 Mike Tomlin in his 17th season as the head coach here it’s still hard to believe because you always look at him and think that he’s the young guy he came in as the young guy for the longest

Time he was the young coach he’s 51 years old now he’s never had a losing season hoping to keep that streak alive and just so perfect for what this city embodies has been that way really every step of the way and believes wholeheartedly in Mason Rudolph as evidenced by what he

Said to KT at the end of the half here’s a third and two for Rudolph diing up another deep ball he overthrows Kelvin Austin who had a step on DJ Turner well this was supposed to be a short throw it was well defended by the Bengals and it

Was kind of a double clutch move by Rudolph and at the last minute he’s going to take a shot at Austin this was not a deep route by Design you can see Pickins running a short route Fri M running a short route everybody was covered and this is in essence throwing

The ball away so Harvin will get it away for Charlie Jones and he will make the fair catch just Pittsburgh holding on to this 24 nothing lead a good start for Cincinnati to get that sto that’s what Zack Taylor was clamoring for they have not won in the division they are 0 and4

Within the AFC North Zack Taylor knows that’s irrelevant this is a game that regardless of the opponent you got to have to be a playoff team and that’s a big play t Higgins wow extends Higgins is gone it’s a Higgins house call touchdown 80 [Applause]

Yards well this is Zone and not man so it’s not Joey Porter Jr who is out there I mean he’s on the field but he’s in zone coverage here’s Porter but as this route comes in he’s going to turn him loose to an inside Defender and you can see the inside

Linebacker Mel Walker number 38 got all twisted around again no Al Landon Roberts on the inside miles Jack just off the practice squad mle Walker in there and he got turned around on that play longest play of the career of T Higgins of course in a contract year

This year been so much talk about his play he had a huge fourth quarter in overtime last week to help them win the game had that touchdown with 39 seconds left extending it across the goal line and now they’ll go for two to try to make this a two-score game Browning surveys

Browning extending the play shovel he’s got it Joe Mixon creative from Jake Browning well nice Presence by Jake Browning it has not been a good game for him so so far with the two interceptions he gets the pass to Higgins now he doesn’t panic on the two-point

Conversion he knows he can’t run it in there cuz High Smith will tackle him but he gets him close enough that he can flip this ball out to Mixon for the conversion let’s go back to the touchdown on the long throw to Higgins watch Porter turns him loose inside and

The linebacker in safety out of position to make a play Eric row was the man who he had to beat he did exactly that felt like almost the exact carbon copy of the pickings touchdown to start the day and Browning that’s what he said he likes to

Do he likes to be a progression quarterback it allows him to be in Rhythm you see his eyes moving from option one option two option three finds Higgins for the long score yeah eyes moving and feet always ready to throw and he hits that back foot and delivers

A strike and T Higgins comes through when they need it you know last year they beat Pittsburgh here Chase was not in the game Higgins had nine catches over 140 yards was their main weapon another Touchback will start this Pittsburgh drive from the 25 It’s Been A

Tale of Two Cities since these two teams last met a month ago it was the first career start for Browning season high in yards for Pittsburgh but since then the Bengals beat three playoff position teams Jacksonville Indian Minnesota how about two losses for the Steelers to two win teams before last week’s eventual

Meltdown in Indianapolis the Bengals in the sixth spot in the AFC now the Steelers on the outside looking in and they got the start they wanted but this second half hasn’t been a continuation from what we saw the first two quarters we’ll see if Mason rudoff can get his team back on the

Horse Rudolph rolls flips Darnell Washington makes the grab and will turn it up field for eight a good decision Again by Rudolph it’s a three-man route the two deeper routs are both covered Washington is the third choice he’s going to block block and then release and Rudolph gets him the

Football cam sample applied the pressure Rudolph god mentioned at the records he had at Oklahoma State winning his quarterback in school history 32-9 when he started inactive the first 12 games of the season first action last week so week 16 in 2021 Warren and he won’t

Get there they stop him in his tracks Carter came up to kind of level him there and set up third and short nice play on that short yardage play remember a week ago against Minnesota it was a stop on Third and one and then on fourth and one

That really were the difference in the ball game and their win against the Vikings another opportunity right here Steelers have been Stellar on third down so far as we head into the night on Christmas Eve at AER Stadium third and one Rudolph looking sideline for Pickins

Again and he’s got it drops it in the bucket Pickins punches back touchdown so they got to be thinking four down territory here third down and one you go for a low percentage throw but with this guy today it’s not a low percentage throw the ruier in coverage beautiful

Throw by Rudolph and nobody in this Stadium right now gives a flip whether George Pickins blocks on a running play 66 yards he’s got 195 and Boswell makes it 318 it’s been all George pickings tonight two touchdowns big plays left and right and he delivers again in front

Of this home crowd to knocks the ball at the line of scrimmage here’s High Smith working on the other side against Orlando Brown and these two guys are a nightmare when you’re behind like this on the the scoreboard and you can’t run the football Browning back to the air over

The middle back to Higgins will reel that in and set up third and short you know it’s interesting because when we were talking to Mike Tomlin he said you know teams in this division they know each other they make roster moves and business decisions based on who they

Play so they know they’ve got TJ Watt and they know they got Alex heith and last year heith had a field day against the Bengals Jonah Williams was left tackle so what do the Bengals do they go and get Orlando Brown from the Chiefs as an unrestricted free agent to come in

And play left tackle and he’s got his hands full today with Alex heith as well Tomlin told heith you better be like Michael tror in the Last Dance take it personally go one-on-one with that matchup here’s a third and two for Browning rainbow delivery and it’s Higgins for a first down good protection

That time high Smith dropped into coverage it’s Zone coverage Browning’s going to know the is going to have time because High Smith’s going to drop out it’s a fourman rush he’s got time Watts there late but he hangs in there long enough to hit Higgins Higgins had that short catch

Earlier in the game he’s now over 100 yards had an 80 yd touchdown on the slant on the previous possession again Cincinnati has moved the ball well can they catch it in and draw closer Browning just so pois flag comes in a sample makes the catch turns it up

Along the sideline and forced out of bounds inside the 40 we wait on the penalty I think Pittsburgh has played more Zone early in this game than Cincinnati was expecting Defense number 56 that penal is declined the result of the play is a first [Applause] out called on Alex heith just a little

Quick off the Mark but with this kind of a lead they can continue to play zone defense they don’t have to take chances they don’t have to commit extra bodies in the run defense because the Bengals have not been able to run the football Higgins the motion Man Has Come

Alive now in this second half Browning feeling the pressure dump it down tipped up nearly picked a sigh of relief miles Jack in his return to action nearly had one well this time it was hering in for heith the rookie out of Wisconsin who’s going to get pressure he’s there and affects the

Throw of Jake Browning he beats Orlando Brown and just around the feet of the quarterback affects the accuracy of the throw and Miles Jack almost comes up with the third interception of the day for the Steelers you can see it based on the the reaction every time it happens

But I’m not sure there’s a worse feeling from a defensive player than dropping a tipped interception like that Miles Jack felt it there second and 10 Bengals get away with one grounding across the field another dangerous throw is knocked Away by Chandon selv zone defense and good pressure

That’s been the recipe for Pittsburgh in this ball game they’ve gotten enough pressure on Jake Browning and they’ve handled the run so they can keep two safeties back and play mostly Zone and it’s worked to Perfection so far the ferson has a big leg career high

Of 59 yards season High 56 right now it would be in the 54 range third and 10 Browning Standing Tall in the pocket over the middle Tanner Hudson well short for the first down but it does get an extra couple yards for a potential field goal or decision now on fourth down that

Time Pittsburgh decided to only Rush three and drop eight just need to make a tackle ahead of the sticks and they did Cincinnati electing to go forward here on fourth down we’ve seen Browning’s command of the Huddle improve over the last three weeks after his first start of his

Career against Pittsburgh Second fourth down chance of the day missed out on the fourth and inches in the first half Harris looking to bounce it to the outside and he does get positive yardage looked like he was dead to rights in the back field and he dragged DJ Turner

Forward for a couple yeah I mean DJ Turner did his job for the Bengals he’s got to set the edge of the defense he can’t let anything get outside the only problem is Naji Harris is a big dude and so he not only gets a stiff arm in there

He just is a hard guy to wrap up and even though turn Turner did his job Naji Harris still turned it into a four yd game Rudolph play action on second down pocket collapses Hendrickson gets two arms around him and Rudolph is dumped and some extracurricular here Hendrickson and brri Jones the rookie

First round pick out of Georgia here’s Hendrickson again working on Dan Moore the left tackle and Mason Rudolph kind of moved into that sack but nobody opened downfield good coverage downfield by the Bengals and they get to the quarterback sets up third down and 12 towards the playoff

Probability as big of any story line in this game for these two teams it’s a essentially a must-win game for the Steelers and they put themselves in position Mason Rudolph a big reason why this one’s going to be incomplete great coverage by Turner on Deontay Johnson and a three andout Force by this

Cincinnati defense So the Bengals get the Stop and they should get at least decent field position here Presley Harvin has had an okay season so far he had a big punt against Buffalo 69 yards earlier in the season let’s see what he has here big this game is for

Both teams Cincinnati with a win has a 60% playoff probability if they drop it it’s down to 20 Pittsburgh down at 1% if they don’t emerge Victorious Browning in this Bengals offense from the 32 Mixon on the handoff bounce it to the outside shows off the Speed he’s got a first down

Carry and Cincinnati has to not completely abandon the run it’s been tough sledding again just like it was a month ago in Cincinnati but you’ve got to make this Pittsburgh defense play honest a good run by Joe Mixon right there longest run of the day for the Bengals

And that was something that Jake Browning was pretty honest with us he said that they have to be balanced especially against a defense of this caliber otherwise they’re just going to take that onedimensional aspect away from you felt like that’s been the case at times today but the passing game has

Still been pretty solid rounding up over 270 yards another completion of void for four so I want to go back to the fourth down play this has been the secret sauce for the Steelers we got two new safeties so let’s protect them by playing Zone and let’s count on these two guys to

Unleash Fury in the back field pressure with those guys play zone in the back end on Fourth and five typically from that part of the field you’re thinking man all the way from the Steelers zone defense they get the the turnover on fourth down and it’s worked very well

For the Steelers defense so far like Tomlin said that the men gets a little smaller especially without M Fitzpatrick out for today another catch for Yos sios as he just stumbles his way out of Bounds at the 40 but they’ve done a good job of managing now Patrick Peterson just his

Second career started safety has seen a snaps go way up at that position in the last two weeks and the one thing that Tomlin did mention to us that I thought was 100% accurate he said it’s different when it happens in Game like last week making Fitzpatrick goes down in game now

You’ve got a scramble versus when you’ve got a full week of preparation like they’ve had this week without KZ now suspended for the year and Fitzpatrick out with the injury you can really make sure that you’re scheming correctly to make sure you you have the right calls for your system and

For your players as brownings going fire on the run another catch for Tyler Boyd out of bounds yeah I mean the the bad thing for the Steelers last week it was consecutive plays KY gets suspended for the hit he’s out the very next play mcka Fitzpatrick injures his knee so they

Lose two starting safeties in two plays and had to really Scramble for the rest of that game against Gardner msho and the Colts Peterson has done a good job in his spot Eric row over at the strong safety spot Cinna moving it here now second and

Four again they Trail by 14 points ENT three in the fourth quarter last week Browning dials it up separation yosot makes the grab and he is in bounds for a catch one one official set out incomplete the other one said catch now it looks like you’re

Going to agree on a catch heck of an effort by Yosi BOS does he get both feet in oh it’s almost simultaneous with the hand and the foot it looks like that’s going to be a catch they’re going to go quick and try to make sure there’s no

Review 22 yds on the pitch and catch and now the challenge flag thrown by Mike Tomlin a little surprising that Cincinnati wouldn’t go and get that snap off quickly but tomman wants to take another another look we’ll see if Yos siage got both feet in when we come back

It has to be clear that that second foot comes in and and it’s just not clear at all if anything as Terry mentioned it looks like this hand may have hit right there as that foot’s coming down and again the decision not to go up to the

Line and quickly snap it by Jake Browning in this offense eventually bites them as they have to back their way up to the 34 yd line so it’s third down and four instead of first down and 10 Brown pumps keeps Browning gets rid of it incomplete and flag is down through in

The direction of Drew sample out of the back field and we’ll wait on the penalty here well this is kind of in the area we’ think defensive holding as the quarterback was leaving the pocket holding Defense number 24 it’s a 5yd penalty automatic first down as good as

Joey Porter has been as a rookie out of Penn State he has been flagged a lot this is his 14th penalty he’s arguing his case but it was holding early and holding late those yellow gloves and yellow sleeves show up pretty bright on a white jersey too listen I know that you like

The traditional uniforms of both these teams and the color scheme is obviously great but it does pay the price at times like that when you’ve got the bright colors as part of your uniform as brown picks up two yards on the catch and run Porter second most penalized cornerback

In the NFL but in coverage they’ve just loved his development they’ve loved his aggression and really the confidence that he’s played with as a rookie this season oh he’s played really well I mean his forced incompletion rate is higher than any rookie in in pro football second down and eight now for

Browning lofs it open oh it’s dropped yoos had some some space to work and it’s third down I think when Yosi Vos had to go up in the air for this his eyes started kind of trying to pick up where he might get hit from and he wasn’t able to

Secure the catch he goes up his eyes go off the ball and look inside to see where the defender is and he’s not able to secure the catch Eric row was waiting biting his time for the hit third down and eight Browning dials it up caught inbounds T

Higgins very similar to the play they did not convert on Fourth and five the last Drive he’s running a little out route to the side Porters in deep coverage at Zone coverage and it’s a well-placed ball by Jake brownie now a season High 140 yards for Higgins

307 through the air for Jake Browning was just putting together another statistically impressive game aside from the two interceptions hand off for Mixon dancing his way forward to the 10 runs into a a Steeler wall that Steel Curtain right there Michael Walker comes up to make the play and the 10th play of

The drive upcoming now for Cincinnati this third quarter dwindling down Bengals had to come back from two scores in the fourth quarter eventually forced overtime on a late touchdown to Higgins last week and what was a win over the Vikings and they work their magic again

This time in a division match up on the road Browning feeling the pressure he goes down Alex heith he’s too [Applause] fast well this is why Mike Tomlin said make this look like a bad dis business decision they went and got Orlando Brown you make him look bad and he did on that

Pass rush two quick off the edge he’s got Great Bend and acceleration to the quarterback and Jake Browning had no chance on that one makes it third and 15 they will run it Blitz coming sidearm caught down low Mixon has no way to get

Up and it will bring us to the end of the third quarter fourth down upcoming to start the fourth for Cincinnati down to the ground he doesn’t survive it and now the third quarter still has 3 seconds left well and the reason he had to get rid of this ball is Michel Walker

Came unblocked on the inside the Right Guard in the center ended up blocking one guy the right tackle was all tied up with TJ Watt and the quick pressure forced the underneath throw and it was incomplete anyway so they went all the way down to the other side of the field

Because it’s not like one of those where the quarter ends you’re at the 47 yd line and you just move six yards the other way they’re in the Red Zone they’re deep in the Red Zone they went all the way to the other side of the

Field they were lining up to start the fourth quarter and then it was announced here they’re going to put 3 seconds back on the clock everybody walked all the way back to the other side to get mcferson out here for this field goal attempt to end the third maybe it’s good

For mcferson he got to keep his legs loose go back and forth a little bit I like that he’s been standing over there for a while see if he can get loose did not attempt that extra point they went for two so he’ll get this 35 yd field goal

And fonson continues to produce in his third year out of Florida 23 of 28 on the year and was only missed from 50 plus this season and mcferson drills it so now we are officially at the end of this third [Applause] quarter 20o difference Pittsburgh the outstanding first half Cincinnati looked

Like maybe they were going to have a little momentum to start the third quarter with a long touchdown to Higgins but Pickins delivers that counter blow immediately back and in favor of the Steelers this holiday season illumination invites you to take flight into the thrill of the unknown with the

Action pack new original comedy migration in theaters now so you get set now for this fourth quarter again it was a 14-point deficit last week for Cincinnati to overcome on the road or rather at home I should say against the Minnesota Vikings they do that but they did have to score three

Times to force overtime and that’s what they’re down right here down three scores this AFC C playoff picture Cincinnati right now in that six spot Pittsburgh with the win would jump them with a division tiebreaker as well and tied up at 8 and seven potentially here

But so much on the line Bengals just fighting for their own lives without Joe burrow for the season Jake Browning has won three games in a row with his team the Steelers Losers of three in a row felt like the season really was in the balance heading into this week and a win

Keeps them very much in the hunt along with Houston and buffalo and in in this incredibly High traic AFC burrow Zack Taylor said he’s been on the headset every week has been down on the sideline pretty much every week it’s been a nice presence to have around as well as an

Extension of the coaching staff as mcferson booms it to the back of the end zone well George Pickins was being talked about a lot this last week this was the lack of effort on a block against Indie but no lack of effort as a receiver tonight and

He has been a big play machine for the Steelers and again if you make these kind of plays and help your team to score 31 points with a whole quarter of football left a lot can be forgiven and when you win a lot of that stuff doesn’t

Become a big problem when you lose as Mike Tomlin said the vultur come out war on the pitch and he will try to split those two Defenders picks up one that was the main point that Mike Tomlin tried to make to us and really has tried

To make to George he said I’m not trying to sidestep this I know it’s an issue I know that the effort is a legitimate concern does he need to improve as a man does he need to improve as a player does he need to improve as an individual

Absolutely said all of those things said but it’s probably more heightened because of the losses and the work and the trajectory speeds up when you start winning and you can do it on your own time outside of the public eye he’s hoping a game like tonight could help do

Do that for pickings and Company off fields that snap leaves it for Warren who Wiggles forward across the 30 right now part of what Pittsburgh wants to do Eddie Falkner new offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan the play caller and quarterback coach they want to use clock too and they’re well aware

Of Cincinnati’s ability to come back and their confidence uh late in ball games so they want to keep possession they want to make first downs but also they want to run the clock the best they can here in this fourth quarter Warren stays in there third and

Four Rudolph LOF it he likes to go deep oh he just missed Johnson he had the step could have had another house call instead it’s fourth down yeah Mike Hilton the former Steeler is excellent as a Blitzer and a run Defender but if you get him in man cover

He can struggle a little bit and Deontay Johnson ran right by him Mason Rudolph just couldn’t connect had what he wanted and had room just didn’t make the right throw second straight three and out for this Pittsburgh offense and a quick stop for Cincinnati to get the football back

Harvin everybody fired up players have talked about what it does to energize them and right off the bat wat got some good penetration forced the short completion to mix in but a flag is down well he got the penetration and he’s going to get the holding call again I

Think on Jonah Williams and TJ watt has made life miserable for Jonah Williams number 73 it’s a 10yd penalty still first down I think he makes life miserable for a lot of tackles he does but Jonah Williams this is his first year playing right tackle you see gets

That left arm around the neck it was a good quick inside move by DJ Watt Jonah Williams has been a left tackle his whole career he’s at right tackle now and the bonus for that is oh you you get to go against DJ wat makes it first and 20 now for

Browning and another whistle to see the body language from Williams this one could go against him again B start offense number 73 here 5y penalty still first down now TJ watt is a future Hall of Famer and he has Relentless effort he never gives up on a play he never stops

Grinding and straining and then you combine Alex heith on the other side they are just difficult to deal with and then when you can’t run the football like Cincinnati can’t the game falls into the favor of these Edge rushers like TJ Ro no penalties all night backto back

Now for Cincinnati to make it first and 25 dump it Chase Brown a lot of speed but he can’t utilize it there wrapped up by Miles Jack as he crosses the the 20 see here’s the problem though if if you say okay let’s keep a back end or a

Tight end in help well then that means you’re not releasing as many guys into the pass route now you’ve got some great wide outs you’re missing your best but Cincinnati’s pass offense is really at its best with four and five guys out not with only three guys out and while

They’ve been willing to take those shots downfield not at the same rate necessarily as when Joe Burrow’s been under Center we’ll see if at some point they they let Browning Let it Loose a bit second and 19 deep drop for Browning steps up in the pocket fires dangerous

It’s intercepted Alex heith takes it away third of the day for Browning and the Steelers clicking on all cylinders down the stretch well here was the counter by Pittsburgh so TJ watt is going to get extra attention watch TJ is going to get attention by two guys here High Smith is

Going to drop into coverage and then he ends up reading the quarterback’s eyes and falling right into it for the interception these two guys are as good of a Duo of edge rushers as there is in the National Football League and they’re very versatile in their skill

Sets second game this year high Smith has a sack and an interception did it against Cleveland L playing the N AFC North and three turnovers season high in interceptions for Pittsburgh a season matcher Browning had three coming in on the year in his career he’s got three now continuing in this game Pittsburgh

Nearing that uh elusive 400 yard Mark too at 368 total yards they did it when these two teams played the week after Matt Canada was fired as the offensive coordinator and Eddie Falkner and Mike Sullivan took over but as you said earlier they only scored 16 points and

That was the first game in 58 games that they gained over 400 yard they’re getting close to it today they also haven’t had a 300 yard passer in quite some time Mason Rudolph’s at 279 Naji Harris has another first down brute tackle there but they just keep this

Thing working in that duo Falkner and Sullivan have just found the right Rhythm here tonight this Pittsburgh Steeler team the last last two home games before this one they lost to a 2 and 10 Arizona team and a 2 and 10 New England team and really got completely outplayed

In both of them and today they’re giving the home crowd something better to to watch and cheer for looking for their 20th consecutive non- losing season who would be 17 in a row for Mike Tomlin as the head coach they need to win two of three to finish

The year if they could win all three three put themselves in that playoff picture down the stretch in the AFC they finish off at Seattle at Baltimore Harris finds the hole follows his blocking keeps the legs turning powerful run to the 25 this just power inside Zone running

They’ve got Allen Robinson the big body wide receiver just kind of in there to to cut off the backside edge here and then just counting on Naji Harris to keep those legs going and grind out positive yardage and grind out the clock and you can see Pittsburgh right

Now taking time in the Huddle letting that play clock work down and then coming to the line of scrimmage and snapping it with only a couple seconds left on the play clock who would have thought coming into the season that aaser Stadium would be chanting Mason

Rudolph’s name and here we are with 10 minutes to play in this fourth quarter flag is down on the Harris run and this Pittsburgh faith ful is loving what they’re seeing at a number [Applause] two well we we said at the beginning of the show he’s aggressive and he likes to

Push the ball down field and he has done that today he hasn’t hit all of them but he’s hit enough of them to put a little sense of excitement in this place and points on the scoreboard just a microcosm of this season as a whole the backup quarterbacks across the league 58 eight

Different starting quarterbacks now with Rudolph getting his shot tonight can he pick it good chance that he’s back next week and now Mike Tomlin and Company will have the decision especially if picket is not completely 100% inactive tonight got Tris the back up offense the penalty declined the result of the play

It’s third down so Cincinnati will take their defensive stop and move forward with third down and look can you pick it as a starter 10 and four the last 14 games he started the Steelers have had success now the offense hasn’t been explosive by any stretch but he hasn’t made many

Mistakes necessarily to put them in any poor position you see Mitch trabis right there next to him has started the last two games and had been benched at the end of the fourth quarter last week against Indianapolis and of course today Rudolph getting his chance as a result

Third down and three now hand off for Warren and Warren bursts forward he’s got the first down again a nice little change of pace different running Styles between Naji Harris and Jaylen Warren nice double team guards getting to the second level with the Bengal defense and the Steelers just trying to

Grind this one out now there’s Eddie Falkner next to Jaylen Warren nice plan they have put together and utilizing these two backs keeping them both fresh here in the fourth quarter Mike Tomlin loves what they bring as a Duo so they are interchangeable in so many ways and

Warren has done a great job in pass protection as well on third down and this is what Harris has done all night just chew up tough yards feels like every run has been into the teeth of the defense and he has been efficient with 80 last time these two teams played

Pittsburgh won the rushing battle 153 to 25 right now it’s 14 to 30 well that number is changing on me a little bit 111 to 30 that’s always fun when you see the the official stats just goes oh wait nope yep ah yes they change it blank a number give us a different

One either way second and eight massal job of running this clock down this time Cincinnati sniffs it out and they dump Harris in the back field Mike Hilton coming on from that safety spot as he does so well that nickel Cor Corner generally and finds the tackle tough night for Jake Browning

Three interceptions matches what he had coming into the night on the season and after what was really a sensational finish to the game last week especially against a team that cut him he was emotional afterward looked into the camera and said should have never cut Me Maybe with some more colorful language

In there as well and really express some regret for some of the emotion that he had right after the game said that it was more of a team effort especially when he watch back the tape felt like a lot of other people deserved it instead of it being the Browning Revenge game as

A nice grab by Robinson along the sideline so Robinson with that catch is up over 30 yards for the first time since week one and now fourth and short we’ll see what Mike Tomlin likes to do talking to his special teams coordinator Danny Smith I think he’s going to let

The clock go all the way down again use one of his three timeouts and then decide very good clock management right now by Pittsburgh the way they’re operating in and out of the Huddle and even right now with what Mike tomlin’s doing he’ll take it with 719 to

Play analytics tell you to take the field goal well m Canada was let go a little over a month ago and that first game everybody really got to see some of the potential of this offense 421 yards only the 16 points but since then they had

Gone down each week 3177 264 216 the season low last week against Indianapolis and this week has been a different story so far tonight 393 they’ve also got a season High 31 points yep when that game last week they jumped out to a 13 to nothing lead and

Then gave about 30 unanswered points it was a tough day for the defense it was a tough day for Mitch trabis and the offense it’s been a different story today so it looks like field goal unit will be out there Chris BOS Jake Browning has had some sparkling moments it’s just three

Critical mistakes on three interceptions that have cost his team yeah it’s it’s been tough I mean he’s made a lot of good plays but again those have been critical errors and uh they lead to scores and heith has been outstanding he’s younger than TJ watt but he’s

Learned from TJ Watt and he just gets better and better every time he goes out the field that little fake caused the left tackle to look inside and then he just beat the left tackle again the Bengals went out and signed Orlando Brown as an unrestricted free agent in

Order to block heith and some of the other Edge rushers in the AFC North heith has had a day today Chas Brown round first down carry scampers forward and gets hit hard at the 30 yd line High Smith productive sack and an interception here tonight second time he’s done that this

Season just continues to your point and that was something we asked about with TJ watt just how he’s really emerged as a leader over the course of his career say when he first got to Pittsburgh he was quiet he was a sponge but now he said I don’t want to keep all my

Information I spread it around especially in the linebacker room he said he and Alex High Smith are always exchanging ideas talking shop trying to figure out what moves best work based on the match ups as Browning keeps and slides down back at the line of scrimmage and it’ll bring up third and

Five but that’s really it goes to TJ Watt and how he’s learned how he was brought up with his older brothers and learning from guys that he’s played with and now Alex heith can pass down that same Steeler tradition to the Next Generation well and it’s such a position

Of tradition in history here with the Steelers I mean there have been great Edge rushers that have played as outside linebackers in this Steeler defense and defensive concept and uh there’s a lot of pride in wearing that Jersey and playing that position third and five for brownie lets

It Fly wide open Trenton Irwin over the middle of the field and he’s tripped up Eric row got to him picks up 22 across Midfield the 48 nice protection that time nice clean pocket for Jake Browning look backside and hit Irwin on a little dig roundout for Zack Taylor he really felt

Like this was a game they had to have that he learned from losing to this Steeler team his first two years as a head coach learned from beating them his last two years as a head coach now without Joe burrow had to find that happy medium with Browning and the

Steelers delivered that first punch never really looked back as mixing explodes to the 40 yd line Tackle by Miles Jack who uh again has had a very active day remember Al Landon Roberts went out of the game early did not return miles Jack we knew

We were going to see him in some nickel and dime situations he’s end up playing completely eliminate them but it does make their path the final two weeks a little bit more difficult especially considering who they have to play they have to go to Arrowhead play Kansas City

Of course playing on Monday against the Raiders and then they finish off with another division matchup the Browns who that defense you want to talk about a stout defense yeah miles Garrett and that company they have done just outstanding work all season Joe Flo has injected new life into that offense and

With the loss that current playoff probability dips down below 20% now as W Cox start looks like he jumped offense number 84 5y penalty still third down even so Zack Taylor has done a really impressive job with this team his fifth year as the head coach just 40

Years old another one of those hey he was the young guy although it was hard when Shan McVey is still the young guy and has been there for almost a decade in La at this point but Zack Taylor has proven himself Joe burrow goes down in week 11 at Baltimore Jake Browning comes

In over this last month and has put his team back in playoff position no Jamar chase today they hope to have him back potentially next week for that clash in Kansas City third and six Browning feeling the pressure down he goes another sack for the Steelers miles Jack gets home [Applause] well they drop the edge here’s miles Jack he’s going to come on an inside stunt they haven’t shown this why not let miles Jack get in on the sack party he’s a guy who was here all year last year he knows this defense he’s in football ready shape now and he has

Played well in a reserve role today Robins gets it away for Austin and he lets it Fly oh what a bounce that’s why they drafted this young man out of Michigan they love his touch hang time and he Downs it inside the five Cedric Jackson just elevated from the practice squad gets downfield

On a 51 yd punt well we talked about Mason Rudolph he started the game the second play of the game this throw to George Pickin and it just was like a breath of confidence and fresh air not only into the quarterback and that receiver but this crowd and he just never really slowed

Down he stayed aggressive firing the football down the field taking his shots playing with confidence throwing it away when he had to throw it away dumping it off when he had to dump it off really a solid performance and really credit the guy for staying prepared right staying

Ready being a professional not knowing when you’re opportunity was going to come but then ready to capitalize when it did oh a stumble from Warren and now can Rudolph get outside of the end zone he just barely does save the safety you know now even this this is

Not a big play by the quarterback but it’s a heck of a play a smart play the running back falls down get it out of the end zone avoid the safety avoid a disaster play and he does [Applause] that Warren delivers just enough of a block

To allow for Rudolph to get free but now you’re back I’ll call that a block I’m just I’m a generous guy I think it was just the wrong guy got tackled is what I think they call me positive Peter na Harrison there now on second

And 13 they will give it to him try to get some Breathing Room May
