Game 11 Steelers 27, <strong>Bengals</strong> 10<br />
Thursday night, Nov. 20, at Heinz Field<br />
Playing with a lineup severely depleted by injuries, the <strong>Bengals</strong><br />
hung with the Steelers for nearly three quarters before being worn down.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> took a 7-0 first-quarter lead on a 10-yard pass from QB Ryan<br />
Fitzpatrick to WR Glenn Holt, and the <strong>Bengals</strong> trailed by only 13-7 until<br />
late in the third quarter, when the Steelers completed a 64-yard drive<br />
for a 20-7 lead. While struggling early on offense, the Steelers kept the<br />
<strong>Bengals</strong> at bay with a strong rushing defense. <strong>Cincinnati</strong> finished the<br />
game with just 43 rushing yards on 20 carries. Pittsburgh outgained<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> 364-208, as the struggling <strong>Cincinnati</strong> offense finished under<br />
225 net yards for the sixth time in 11 games. The Steelers maintained<br />
the AFC North Division lead by improving to 8-3, and the <strong>Bengals</strong> fell<br />
to 1-9-1 on the year.<br />

Game 12 Ravens 34, <strong>Bengals</strong> 3<br />
Sunday, Nov. 30, at Paul Brown Stadium<br />
The <strong>Bengals</strong>’ struggling offense found no relief against Baltimore’s<br />
No. 2-ranked NFL defense. <strong>Cincinnati</strong> set a season low in possession<br />
time (21:02), tied its season low in points, tied the team record for<br />
fewest first downs (six) and settled for its second-lowest net yardage<br />
total (155) of the season. The <strong>Bengals</strong> defense didn’t do much better<br />
than the offense against the Ravens, yielding a season-high 451 yards.<br />
The Ravens’ passing game, which included a TD throw by WR Mark<br />
Clayton, finished with a 134.3 rating. The <strong>Bengals</strong> fell to 1-10-1 on the<br />
season, and Baltimore improved to 8-4.<br />
