Russell Wilson Shines as Steelers Edge Bengals in High-Scoring Thriller

The veteran quarterback threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns, leading Pittsburgh to a 44-38 victory and a commanding position in the AFC North.

Russell Wilson delivered his best performance since his Seattle days, completing 29 of 38 passes for 414 yards and three touchdowns, marking the second-highest yardage total of his career.
The Steelers' 44 points and 520 total yards were their highest offensive outputs in years, showcasing a shift to a more pass-heavy strategy under Wilson's leadership.
The win secured Pittsburgh's 21st consecutive non-losing season, tying an NFL record, and solidified their lead in the AFC North with a 9-3 record.
