Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Flacco made history as the Bengals stayed on top of the AFC North with a thrilling win over the Steelers. Chase's 16 catches broke Bengals records and Flacco's game-winning drive against the Steelers was his first in 10 years. The Bengals' offensive line, led by Orlando Brown Jr., dominated with 6.2 yards per rush and held the Steelers to just two sacks. Chase Brown's 11 runs at nearly 9.8 yards per pop were a highlight. Flacco's performance, including a 12-yard run on a busted play, was a testament to his resilience and skill. The game is now forever known as the 'Thank You, Cleveland' game, a fitting tribute to the Bengals' resilience and the fans' support. Chase's achievement as the third wide receiver in NFL history to reach 6,000 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns in their first five seasons is a testament to his talent and hard work. The Bengals' victory over the Steelers, with Chase's record-breaking performance and Flacco's strategic play, solidified their position in the AFC North.
