4. team. 55. . W, 23-20 at Bengals. Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers

Being down 17-0 on the road against a division rival isn’t exactly an obstacle to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers.

Even if it was dirty.

Pittsburgh has a knack for coming back in games, and Week 13 was no exception. With a late field goal in the first half, the Steelers went on to outscore the Bengals 20-3 in the second half.

And another game-winning field goal by kicker Chris Boswell.

Roethlisberger’s connection with wide receiver Antonio Brown continued, as per usual, and his late touchdown to tie things up late was pretty awesome. Even if it ended with a big and illegal hit by Bengals safety George Iloka.

In all seriousness, though, thoughts and prayers for Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, whose injury puts all this on the back burner.
