Bengals vs. Steelers: Final score and outcomes Mason Rudolph defeats Cincinnati with such dominance that it ends Pittsburgh’s losing streak.

Just two days before Christmas, Mason Rudolph made a big impression in the Steelers’ 34-11 victory over the Bengals. Call him a red-nosed reindeer.

In a crucial home stand, Pittsburgh ended both Cincinnati’s and its three-game winning streak. There were no breaks in sight once the Steelers got things going. At the half, they had a 24-0 lead. After leaving the locker room, the Bengals tried to get back on track and opened the half with a touchdown. However, the home team responded in equal measure when George Pickens scored his second touchdown of the contest. After four receptions, he gained 195 yards and two touchdowns.

Rudolph dominated in his first under-center start in almost two years. With two touchdowns and 290 passing yards, he concluded.

Jake Browning did not resemble the quarterback we have been watching for the past month, even though he made his season debut against Pittsburgh four weeks ago. In addition to his touchdown and 335 yards through the air, he also had three interceptions. With every one of those errors, Pittsburgh scored.

The Bengals still have a chance to make the playoffs despite this setback, but it will be much more difficult now. They will play the Chiefs on New Year’s Eve before hosting the Browns, which will be their last opportunity to win the AFC North this year.
