Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers Clash at Acrisure Stadium

In their most recent game on December 16 against the Minnesota Vikings, the Bengals emerged victorious with a close score of 27-24. This win was backed by an impressive passing game that racked up 324 yards and two touchdowns. Despite being sacked five times, the quarterback maintained a completion percentage of 69 percent and an overall rating of 97.7. The rushing attack added another dimension to their offense with 80 yards on the ground and one touchdown.


The defense also played a crucial role in this victory by forcing two interceptions and recording three sacks for a loss of 22 yards combined. Their ability to pressure the quarterback was evident as they registered three hurries and eleven hits on the QB.


A week earlier, on December 10 against the Indianapolis Colts, CIN's dominance was even more pronounced as they trounced IND with a scoreline of 34-14. The offense was firing on all cylinders that day; passing for 274 yards with an outstanding completion rate of 76 percent led to two touchdowns through air strikes including one spectacular long pass resulting in a touchdown from fifty-four yards out.


The defense mirrored this excellence by sacking IND's quarterback thrice while limiting them to only fourteen points throughout the game – showcasing how formidable CIN's defensive line can be when they're firing on all cylinders.


Going back further into Week 13 (December 5), CIN faced off against Jacksonville Jaguars in what turned out to be another high-scoring affair ending in favor of CIN at EverBank Stadium (34-31). Once again it was CIN’s aerial assault that did significant damage; throwing for nearly as many yards (347) but also demonstrating balance with an effective running game which contributed significantly towards total yardage gained (156).


Looking ahead at their upcoming encounter with PIT at Acrisure Stadium scheduled for December 23rd at around half past four PM Eastern Time – it is clear that if Cincinnati continues performing like they have been recently then fans should expect another strong showing from both sides of ball: Offense will likely rely heavily upon its passing attack while defense will aim disrupt PIT’s rhythm early often through sacks hurries alike.
