The Cincinnati Bengals were unable to stop their losing streak as they dropped their third straight game, 44-38, to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. It was a disheartening performance from a team whose playoff hopes were basically hanging in the balance.
Unfortunately, it now looks like the Bengals are headed for a second consecutive season without a postseason appearance. But even though they ended up with a loss against the Steelers, there were still some positive individual performances from Bengals players in the game that we should acknowledge.
As he has throughout the season, star quarterback Joe Burrow led the way for the Bengals against the Steelers. He threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns against Pittsburgh and finished the game with a quarterback rating of 112.7. As a result of his productive play, Burrow was Cincinnati's highest-graded player from the game, according to Pro Football Focus.
