Same ol' Cincinnati Bengals? No, just bad day in Pittsburgh | Williams
Williams: Joe Burrow's "this is it" for winning a Super Bowl message echoes loudly. The Bengals can't afford too many more days like they had Sunday.
Joe Burrow's "this is it" for a Super Bowl victory appeared more significant after the Cincinnati Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. A series of self-inflicted errors throughout the game indicated that the Bengals needed to improve their performance to win a championship this season. A roughing penalty by Cedric Johnson and Aaron Rodgers' touchdown pass to Ke Shawn Williams in the third quarter saw the Bengals trailing 24-20.
The Bengals also struggled when Ke Shawn Williams attempted to field a punt with his face, resulting in a game-tying field goal from the Steelers in the fourth quarter. Burrow fumbled with less than a minute remaining in the game, leading to skepticism about the Bengals' capabilities. Bengals' coach Zac Taylor emphasized the need to clean up mistakes and bounce back in the upcoming Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
