Steelreign : Killer B's Sting Bengals In 4th Quarter Runaway

With the Cincinnati Bengals looking to put a strangle hold on the AFC North Sunday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers stung them with their best performance on the road all season. Trailing 21-17 heading into the 4th quarter, the Steelers used the final 15 minutes to turn a close game into a 42-21 laugher and pulled to within a half game of the division lead. Le'Veon Bell had another monster game with 26 carries for 185 yards and another 50 yards on 6 receptions. He topped 200 total yards for the third straight game, joining Walter Payton as the only players to accomplish that feat. Bell found the end zone three times as well, twice on the ground and once in the air.
Antonio Brown extended his obscure NFL record of consecutive games with 5 receptions and 50 yards to 27, catching 9 balls for 117 yards. Although Brown never found the end zone, he opened things up for Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant, who also went over 100 yards receiving, and kept several drives alive with clutch receptions that tortured the Bengals secondary.
Ben Roethlisberger is having the finest season of his career and loves playing in Ohio. He showed why in this crucial showdown with the division leaders. He finished the day going 25 of 39 for 350 yards with 3 touchdown passes, one each to Heath Miller, Le'Veon Bell and a 94 yard strike to rookie Martavis Bryant that put the game away and put Ben over the 4,000 yard mark for the 4th time in the last 6 seasons.
The Steelers need to use this win as a springboard to a playoff birth, and if they win out, they will win the AFC North. Despite their penchant for losing to sub-.500 teams, they still control their own destiny, which means they need to beat another sub-.500 team in the Atlanta Falcons next week at the Georgia Dome.
