Recap

Pittsburgh’s 33-yard field goal with 2:15 left was the final scoring turn in a 30-27 Steelers win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, September 27. Cincinnati still had possession from its own 30, but its last series ended with a sack, fumble and Pittsburgh recovery at 0:53. The Steelers took a three-point game and made it nearly certain when their win probability rose from 62.8% to 99.9% on…

Pittsburgh had spent much of the fourth quarter navigating thinner margins. Its win probability had fallen to 29%, then a muffed punt recovered at the Cincinnati 14 shifted the Bengals from 71% to 48.6% and pushed Pittsburgh to 51.4%. The Steelers did not run away with the game; they repeatedly found the one play, possession or kick that kept the Bengals from taking control.
