Cincinnati’s offense was held to 175 yards and had two turnovers. Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 24 of his 28 pass attempts for 229 yards and two scores. Running back Jaylen Samuels completed three shuffle passes for 31 yards out of the “wild cat” formation as the Steelers tried a variety of ways to get their running game going.
Samuels had 10 rushes for 26 yards. James Conner carried the ball 10 times for 42 yards. Conner and Samuels led the Steelers with eight catches each. Kicker Chris Boswell hit two field goals from 29 and 49 yards.
