McPherson lifts Bengals past Steelers, 33-31 | JQJO

Evan McPherson’s 36-yard field goal with seven seconds left lifted the Bengals past the Steelers, 33-31, at Paycor Stadium, capping an eight-play drive sparked by a deep Joe Flacco strike to Tee Higgins. Flacco, nine days into his Bengals stint, threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns, repeatedly finding Ja’Marr Chase, who set a franchise record with 16 catches for 161 yards and a score. Chase Brown added 108 rushing yards. Pittsburgh squandered an early 10-0 lead and a late Aaron Rodgers-to-Pat Freiermuth 68-yard go-ahead TD, then saw a final Hail Mary fall incomplete.
