Harmon's strip-sack ends Bengals rally as Steelers win 30-27

Pittsburgh regained the lead with 2:15 left, but Joe Burrow still had the ball and enough time for one last drive. Derrick Harmon ended it. He sacked and stripped Burrow with 44 seconds remaining, and Sebastian Joseph-Day recovered to finish a 30-27 Steelers win over Cincinnati on Sunday. The CBS game clip shows the decisive turnover.

The lead had changed repeatedly. Aaron Rodgers opened with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Roman Wilson, and later found Ben Skowronek from 23 yards to make it 14-7. Burrow answered with touchdown passes to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins; the teams were tied 17-17 at halftime. Rodgers' six-yard touchdown throw to DK Metcalf put Pittsburgh ahead 24-20 late in the third, before Burrow hit Mike Gesicki for a 25-yard score early in the fourth. A muffed Cincinnati punt return gave the Steelers a short field, but they settled for Chris Boswell's tying 36-yard field goal.

The winning possession was nearly undone by a holding penalty that erased Jaylen Warren's 87-yard run. Rodgers answered with a 14-yard completion to Metcalf and a 47-yarder to Darnell Washington; Warren then ran 26 yards to the Cincinnati 6. Boswell's 33-yard field goal made it 30-27, setting up Harmon's final play. The Steelers' recap records the full sequence.

Warren, handling the backfield while Rico Dowdle was inactive, ran 17 times for 127 yards and caught three passes for 49. Rodgers went 19 of 34 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Burrow completed 28 of 37 for 282 yards and three touchdowns without an interception; Chase caught nine for 98 yards and Higgins six for 90. Pittsburgh gained 411 yards to Cincinnati's 352. Both teams are 2-1 after the Bengals' first loss.

Wilson's opening score and the final strip-sack frame the game. Pittsburgh generated its offense through several targets, then survived a Cincinnati attack that scored three passing touchdowns. The Steelers' first sack arrived at the only moment when a defensive stop would end the contest.
