Big Ben Leads Steelers' Win
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: November 21, 2008
PITTSBURGH - Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers know exactly how to beat the Cincinnati Bengals - with or without Chad Ocho Cinco.
The Steelers limited the depleted Bengals to six first downs following an early touchdown drive and found just enough offense themselves amid the snow flurries to control the clock behind Roethlisberger and beat Cincinnati 27-10 on Thursday night.
Pittsburgh (8-3) wasn't dominating - except defensively - in winning its fifth in a row over Cincinnati (1-9-1), its longest streak since an eight-game run in the early 1990s.
Gary Russell had a 2-yard run for his first career touchdown in the third quarter, and Roethlisberger found Heath Miller for a 3-yard score in the second quarter.
Jeff Reed kicked field goals of 37 and 38 yards for Pittsburgh at a snowy Heinz Field, where the Steelers were playing their third game in 12 days.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Glenn Holt during the first quarter to give the Bengals the early lead.
