Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 30-27 to move to 2-1 and hand the Bengals their first loss of the season. Mike McCarthy said he had written down 31 as the Steelers’ pregame scoring target, then called it “stupid” to reveal it.
Aaron Rodgers completed 19 of 34 passes for 292 yards, three touchdowns and an interception; Jaylen Warren gained 127 yards rushing and 49 receiving. Pittsburgh totaled 411 offensive yards, after scoring 16 offensive points in its first two games. Chris Boswell's 33-yard field goal put the Steelers ahead with 2:18 left. With 53 seconds remaining, Derrick Harmon sacked Joe Burrow and forced a fumble, recovered by Sebastian Joseph-Day.
