Aaron Rodgers Outduels Joe Burrow as the Steelers Edge the Bengals 30-27 on a Late Boswell Kick
Rodgers completed 19 of 34 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns as Pittsburgh recovered a late fumble to beat Cincinnati 30-27.
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 30-27 at Acrisure Stadium, handing Cincinnati their first loss of the season after a critical fumble recovery in the final minute.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow staged a high-scoring duel in this pivotal AFC North matchup, with Rodgers passing for 292 yards and three touchdowns to outduel his counterpart.
Pittsburgh running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 127 yards on 17 carries and added three catches for 49 yards, though an 87-yard touchdown run was nullified by a holding penalty on DK Metcalf.
Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon sealed the game by forcing a fumble on Burrow during Cincinnati's final drive, as the Bengals' comeback attempt faltered following multiple late-game mistakes in the fourth quarter.
Both teams now hold a 2-1 record; the Bengals host the Jacksonville Jaguars next Sunday, while the Steelers travel to face the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.
