Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the WIMA Sports desk. Going into yesterday's game in Pittsburgh,
the Bengals, despite struggling all season and entering the game
at three and six, knew they had a chance to
reinvigorate their division hopes by beating the first place Steelers,
a team they had beaten earlier in the season in Cincinnati.
That didn't work out. Steeler defense scored twice in a

(00:22):
thirty four to twelve beat down of the Bengals. Kyle
Dugger had a pick six and James Pierre returned to
fumble for a touchdown, and the Steelers won. Despite Aaron
Rodgers leaving with a wrist injury. He threw a td
before leaving. Mason Rudolph came in and threw two touchdown passes.
The Bengals dropped to three and seven. The Steelers stay
in first place at six and four. After the game,

(00:44):
head coach Zach Taylor said, it was another frustrating loss
for the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Is what it is. They did the things you gotta win,
and so they got a chance to run away with it,
and it was really frustrating and disappointing because this is
not what we expected to run. But so what we
did you was to turn a battle two to nothing,
so can play out.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The Bengals have now lost three in a row. Up next,
they will host the nine and two Patriots on Sunday.
As for the Browns, early on it looked pretty good.
Their defense scored a touchdown, they had the lead against
the Ravens, but eventually Baltimore won it twenty three to sixteen.
In Cleveland, Mark Andrews rushed before the winning touchdown. With
about two and a half minutes to go in the game.

(01:23):
Andrews lined up under center and took the ball around
the right side for an easy score. The Ravens have
won four in a row. They're five and five, just
a game behind the Steelers. The Browns, like the Bengals,
have lost three in a row and fell to two
and eight. Dyldon Gabriel left the game of the concussion.
Shador Sanders came in for Cleveland at quarterback. He was

(01:43):
four for sixteen with forty seven yards and an interception. Afterward,
coach Kevin Stefanski was asked how he thought Sanders played AQB.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, obviously, all players you know, it's it's we'll look
at it.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
But he's going to battle like you.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So I'm sure there's things that we can clean up,
but those are things we'll look at some more.
