The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 30-27 in a back-and-forth AFC North matchup, moving to 2-1 and handing Cincinnati its first loss. Aaron Rodgers threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns, while Jaylen Warren contributed 176 yards from scrimmage. After a holding penalty erased Warren’s 87-yard run late in the fourth quarter, Rodgers led a quick response that included a 47-yard connection with Darnell Washington and set up Chris Boswell’s go-ahead field goal. Pittsburgh sealed the win when Derrick Harmon sacked Joe Burrow and forced a fumble that Sebastian Joseph-Day recovered, ending Cincinnati’s final drive.
