Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals: 42 - 21

The Steelers turned it on in the fourth quarter and made this look like a blowout score.  Is that a tendency of the Steelers: to turn it on in the 4th quarter?  If so, sometimes you give the other team too big of a lead.

Most amusing moments of the game:  every time Heath Miller had the ball in his hands, the crowd in Cincinnati roared:  Heath!  I understand Steelers fans travel well, but that was just amusing.

The Steelers defense seems to like to give up big plays.  QB Andy Dalton running 20 yards for a touchdown.  Andy Dalton throwing for an 81 yard touchdown.

I love that last touchdown by Le'Veon Bell.  I couldn't believe he got in.  I was sure the Cincinnati defense would push him out around the five yard line.  They never got close.  I really do hope; however, that the Steelers get a second running back into the lineup soon.  I'd hate to see Bell tire out during the playoffs -- should the Steelers make the playoffs.

It seemed like Ben Roethlisberger had a hangover after his two out of this world games.  Maybe he's back on track.

I just don't get how the Steelers can beat up on solid teams and then throw eggs against bad teams.  Okay, let's say you lose to one bad team a season when you're supposed to be one of the better teams in the league.  If so, the Steelers should be at 10 wins and have the AFC North pretty much wrapped up.  If the Steelers don't beat Atlanta next weekend, one will have to wonder if the Steelers have a multiple personality problem.
