The Steelers outlasted the Bengals on Sunday, grinding out a tough Week 12 win over their AFC North rivals to move to 7–4 on the season.
After a late field goal by Cincinnati pushed the score to 16–10, the Bengals opted to attempt an onside kick to keep the game alive, as there was just 2:04 left on the clock and they were out of timeouts.
Before the kick, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin took a timeout of his own and might have pulled a clever bit of clock management in the process.
