Cam Johnston was hit in the knee in the third quarter, drawing a roughing-the-kicker penalty that kept possession with Pittsburgh and led to DK Metcalf's touchdown. After Cincinnati went ahead 27-24, Ben Skowronek recovered a muffed punt to set up a tying field goal. Pittsburgh forced a three-and-out, then went 77 yards in eight plays for Chris Boswell's go-ahead kick. Derrick Harmon later sacked Joe Burrow and forced a fumble, recovered by Sebastian Joseph-Day, to seal the win.
The Steelers rushed for 138 yards, after totaling fewer than 100 in the first two weeks. At 2-1, Pittsburgh visits the 2-1 Cleveland Browns on Thursday night in Week 4, with a chance to take sole possession of the division lead.
