Few matchups generate reactions in the same way a showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers do.
Sunday’s 37-30 win wasn’t nearly as drama filled as some of their past encounters by any means. But it was still a chippy game with controversial calls and big swings and plenty of takeaways.
For now, we’ll just have to settle for some of the best reactions from fans and media alike from another classic between the two AFC North rivals.
That includes former players weighing in, too, as even players who have put the cleats away still have things to say on the new chapters in the saga.
Joe Burrow slides & gets hit, no flag! Yet, they call a BS PI call to help Steelers keep drive alive! Sad how these refs control CERTAIN games

I love beating the Steelers. We could win by 1 point in a horrible game and I’d be the happiest guy on the planet.

Helmet to helmet on a guy laying on the ground? Pickens had to let out some frustration after he dropped the walk in TD I guess.

Great to see the Bengals overcome their early struggles and beat the Steelers on the road. This was a must win.

Bengals get a much needed AFC North win against Pittsburgh, winning 37-30.
Cincinnati remains 1 game behind Baltimore in the division.

I was told Burrow couldn’t cook with our best weapon out. Chase and Mixon both out 🧐

Bengals needed the win and got it. Need one against TEN next week too
Burrow with a terrific game. Both picks belie his greatness today
Perine with a historic game & nice games by Pratt &Wilson. Great to have big DJ back in the middle. Hendrickson & Hubbard nice closing efforts

I'd say Joe Burrow is just a little hyped …
