NFL Twitter reacts to Steelers' blowout loss to Bengals

It was supposed to be a close game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they were tight only on paper.The Bengals completely destroyed the Steelers on Sunday, winning 41-10 and allowing a touchdown in garbage time. They dominated on both sides of the ball and extended their record to 7-4, getting closer to the Baltimore Ravens at the top of the AFC North.The Steelers, meanwhile, fell even further in the playoff picture, with a .500 record not enough to grab one of the wild card spots.With such an unexpected blowout happening, fans were quick to post their reactions on Twitter.With Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon and company putting up a 40-burger over a strong divisional rival, many were shocked by the final result. Cincinnati fans were ecstatic, though:RicMtheGM Brownie (Gnome)@RicMTheGMThe @Bengals are for real! Nice win and thrashing of the @steelers.01:11 AM · Nov 29, 2021The @Bengals are for real!

The Bengals however are a young and hungry team that will be a tough match up for anyone. One day they will win a super bowl with your respect.

Who DeyBengals' game plan leaves Steelers cluelessA fantastic game plan by Cincinnati saw the team furiously dominate Pittsburgh all afternoon. Whether through the ground, or through the air, or when defending, it was an easy task for the Bengals, who now hold one of the AFC Wild Card spots.Joe Burrow remains on a hot streak, but today was a great afternoon for Joe Mixon. The running back finished the day with 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus four other receptions. Tee Higgins also had himself a day with 114 receiving yards and a touchdown.For the Steelers, it's difficult to take anything positive from this afternoon or for the season itself. With a 5-5-1 record, it's unlikely that Pittsburgh will grab one of the AFC playoff spots. The offense is no good anymore with Ben Roethlisberger's sharp decline, the offensive line can't block, and the defense has some problems — T.J. Watt was completely nullified by Cincinnati's game plan.For years, Cincinnati was an easy task for a Pittsburgh team that was always competing for higher stakes. In 2021, it's clear that the guard has changed, and now the team from Ohio is in a much better position in this rivalry.Also Check Out: Complete NFL Week 13 TV Schedule
