CINCINNATI (AP) -Why not the Bengals?
Eight years had passed since Cincinnati beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, an excruciating streak that symbolized the gulf between the two family-run franchises. The Bengals’ 23-20 win on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium felt like a seismic shift.
Players and fans accustomed to being humbled at home are wondering whether more breakthroughs are ahead for the Bengals (2-1), one of the NFL’s surprises. They’ve got a favorable schedule, and their franchise quarterback is back.
Carson Palmer led a winning 16-play touchdown drive against the reigning Super Bowl champion Steelers, his second clutch drive in three games. With Palmer looking good, the Bengals like their chances of staying in playoff contention.
