THE LAST TIME VS. CINCINNATI

Pittsburgh 23, Cincinnati 20Dec. 4, 2017

Paul Brown Stadium (56,029)

C i n c i n n a t i , O h i o – T h e S t e e l e r s o v e r c a m e a 17-0 deficit and a devastating injury to LB Ryan Shaizer to edge out the Bengals 23-20 at Paul Brown Stadium. On just the second drive of the game, Shazier was taken to the hospital with a back injury after attempting to tackle Bengals WR Josh Malone. Pittsburgh struggled to gain momentum in the fi rst half following the injury as Cincinnati pulled ahead 17-0. K Chris Boswell got the Steelers on the board with a 3-yard fi eld goal at the end of the second quarter. When play resumed after halftime, the Steelers defense forced Cincinnati to go three-and-out. The Steelers scored their fi rst touchdown of the game on the following drive when QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with RB Le'Veon Bell who sped past defenders on the sideline for a 35-yard touchdown. A Cincinnati fi eld goal left the Steelers trailing 20-10 through three quarters. After a second fi eld goal from Boswell, Roethlisberger found WR Antonio Brown in the end zone to tied the game at 20. Pittsburgh sealed its victory with a 38-yard fi eld goal from Boswell on the fi nal play of the game - his third game-winner of the 2017 season. The Steelers defense forced the Bengals to go three-and out three times in the fourth quarter. Roethlisberger reached 50,000 passing yards in his regular season career, becoming just the eighth quarterback in NFL history to do so. Bell registered 182 scrimmage yards, eclipsing the 150-yard mark for the fi fth time in 2017.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Pittsburgh snagged a victory over the defending Super Bowl champions in the team’s first preseason game of 2018.

Pittsburgh recaptured the lead with a 3-yard touchdown run by RB Fitzgerald Toussaint followed by a Steelers' successful two-point conversion attempt. On the ensuing drive, Steelers CB Cameron Sutton picked off Sudfeld to give Pittsburgh a short field, but an interception by Pittsburgh QB Joshua Dobbs allowed Philadelphia to regain control. The Eagles capitalized with 63-yard touchdown pass from Sudfeld to WR Shelton Gibson. The extra point attempt failed. The Steelers bounced back in the final mintues of the half when Dobbs found rookie WR Damoun Patterson in the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown.

PRESEASON GAME #3PITTSBURGH 16, TENNESSEE 6

AUG. 25, 2018HEINZ FIELD (48,039)

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The Steelers' defense tallied 6.0 sacks and rendered the Titans scoreless through three quarters in their 16-6 preseason victory over Tennessee. QB Ben Roethlisberger made his 2018 preseason debut, completing 11 of 18 passes for 114 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. The Steelers' lone touchdown of the night came near the end of the first quarter when Roethlisberger linked up with WR Justin Hunter for a 32-yard touchdown that was initially called out of bounds before being overturned following a coach's challenge. Pittsburgh's next three scores came off the foot of K Chris Boswell who connected on field goals from 42, 33 and 45 yards. The Titans put themselves on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass from QB Blaine Gabbert to TE Anthony Firkser, but couldn't create enough offense to pull ahead as the Steelers captured their second preseason win. A pair of 2018 Steelers draft picks, S Terrell Edmunds and CB Marcus Allen, snagged interceptions in the victory, while six different Pittsburgh defenders produced sacks - DE Lavon Hooks, LB Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, LB Vince Williams, DE Stephon Tuitt, DT Cameron Heyward and LB Farrington Huguenin.

GAME #1PITTSBURGH 21, CLEVELAND 21

SEPT. 9, 2018FIRSTENERGY STADIUM (67, 431)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Steelers ended Kickoff Weekend locked in a 21-21 tie with AFC North foes, the Cleveland Browns, at FirstEnergy Stadium. The game marks Pittsburgh's third tie following overtime since 1970. After a scoreless first quarter, Steelers RB James Conner, in his first career start, ignited Pittsburgh's offense with a 4-yard touchdown run. Browns QB Tyrod Taylor tied things up early in the second half with a touchdown rush for 20 yards, but the Steelers responded with touchdowns on back-to-back drives - first a 22-yard touchdown pass from QB Ben Roethlisberger to WR Antonio Brown, then a 22-yard touchdown run by Conner. Halfway through the fourth quarter, a Steelers' fumble recovered by Cleveland, led to Browns RB Carlos Hyde scoring a touchdown off a 1-yard rush. Cleveland tied the game just before the two-minute warning with a 17-yard touchdown reception from Taylor to WR Josh Gordon. Tied 21-21 with 0:23 remaining in regulation, Steelers DB Cameron Sutton intercepted a pass intended for Gordon at the Pittsburgh 8-yard line to force the game into overtime. In overtime, the Steelers drove down to the Browns 24-yard line to set up a 42-yard field goal attempt, but in the pouring rain, the kick by K Chris Boswell sailed wide left. After another Steelers fumble at the Pittsburgh 38-yard line, the Browns set themselves up for their own field goal attempt from 43 yards out with 0:13 seconds remaining. The kick from Zane Gonzalez was blocked by Steelers LB T.J. Watt. Time expired on the following drive. Watt finished the game with 4.0 sacks, while DT Cameron Heyward, LB Bud Dupree and LB Jon Bostic each collected 1.0. Conner finished the game with 31 rushes for 135 yards and two touchdowns, along with five catches for 57 yards.
