[NFL] Steelers Defense Controls Bengals In 27-10 Win

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. Chad Ocho Cinco’s absence allowed the Steelers to double cover T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who was coming off eight consecutive games with six or more catches but found little open space downfield and ended with four catches for 20 yards.
