NFL Game Summary - Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Antonio Brown had a receiving touchdown and returned a punt for a score to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 30- 20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals at a windy Heinz Field on Sunday night.

Ben Roethlisberger was extremely efficient despite battling winds with gusts of up to 30 mph, completing 20-of-25 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown and an interception for the Steelers (6-8), who won for the first time since Week 12 to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Le'Veon Bell rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown and also caught five passes for 50 yards in the win.

Andy Dalton was 25-for-44 passing for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Marvin Jones caught five passes for 48 yards and a score and Tyler Eifert hauled in three balls for 33 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals (9-5), who will have to wait at least another week to determine their playoff fate.

Cincinnati had a chance to claim the AFC North crown with a win or tie and Baltimore loss on Monday night. The Bengals also had a chance to claim at least a playoff birth with a win and a Miami loss, but the Dolphins held on for a 24-20 win over the New England Patriots earlier on Sunday.

Giovani Bernard rushed for 33 yards and a score and A.J. Green caught nine passes for 93 yards in the setback.
