Reactions: Cincinnati Bengals move to 7-4 with 41-10 rout of Pittsburgh Steelers
The Cincinnati Bengals have bounced back from an ugly home loss to the Cleveland Browns by scoring 73 points over the past two games against the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Their third consecutive win against the Steelers was a 41-10 rout of Pittsburgh highlighted by Joe Mixon establishing a new personal record with 165 rushing yards in a game, ex-Steeler Mike Hilton's pick-6 of Ben Roethlisberger, Tee Higgins' outstanding touchdown grab in the second quarter and Joe Burrow's touchdown run to finish Cincinnati's opening drive.
The Bengals improved to 7-4 with the win - referred to by The Enquirer's Paul Daugherty as an exorcism - and dropped the Steelers to 5-5-1. Cincinnati is 3-1 this seas in AFC North games.
Social media reactions:
This marks the second time the Bengals have scored 41 points this season, the first was against the Ravens. Now, it's against the Steelers. Two teams historically known for their defenses

I honestly don't remember a game over the past 30 years that the Steelers got whipped as bad as they did today. 2013 in NE wasn't good, but not like this. 1989 Browns?

The Steelers have been held to a season-low 10 points, twice this season.
The Bengals have been responsible both times.— Marisa Contipelli (@BengalsMarisa) November 28, 2021

Wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without that cousin who gets mad losing and punts the ball over the fence before going inside. Steelers call timeout trailing 41-10 with less than two minutes on the clock.
