Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers were understandably nervous heading into the team’s Week 13 matchup against the underrated offensive force of the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh’s Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns certainly didn’t inspire confidence.
However, the Black and Gold offense came alive, all but dismantling the Bengals’ defense with over 500 total yards in the contest.
Leading the offensive explosion was none other than QB Russell Wilson, who threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns, complemented by RB Najee Harris’ 129 all-purpose yards. This performance showcased just how formidable this unit can be.
With a challenging five-game stretch remaining, the Steelers will aim to make Week 13’s offensive dominance the new standard rather than a one-hit wonder.
Steelers fans are still buzzing days after the team improved to 9-3 in the 2024 season, with their excitement palpable across social media. Here are some of the best fan reactions to the Steelers’ offensive showcase in Week 13.
I’ve spent the last 5 years watching the Steelers offense hang 13 points on some pretty bad defenses.
So no, I don’t care that it was “just the Bengals”.

@steelers can’t score in the red zone, @steelers offense isn’t showing up, @steelers can’t put up numbers offensivelyrics overall….well, well, well. We left plenty jaws dropped against the INCREDIBLEY dangerous @Bengals regardless of their record. #SteelerNation

Ravens beat the bengals in an offensive shootout and it’s “The Ravens offense is unstoppable”.
Steelers beat the bengals in an offensive shootout and it’s “The Bengals defense is terrible”.
Doesn’t make sense to me.

I know it was the Bengals’ defense but Russell Wilson and Arthur Smith were in their bags. pic.twitter.com/K1CvhyqBWK
