El corredor Bernard Scott colocó los restante seis puntos de Cincinnati (7-2), con regresó de 96 yardas de una patada de salida, luego que los Acereros se habían adelantado en la pizarra con gol de campo de 28 yds de Jeff Reed.

El pateador del conjunto local permitió que el equipo negro y oro se fuera con ventaja de tres puntos al descanso de medio tiempo, gracias a que marcó dos goles de campo más en el segundo cuarto de 33 y 35 yd.

Sin embargo, la ofensiva de Pittsburgh se vio inoperante en el segundo medio y sólamente consiguió otros tres puntos con el cuarto gol de campo de Reed de 34 yardas.

Ben Roethlisberger tuvo una tarde bastante discreta en el Heinz Field, al completar 20 de 40 pases lanzados para una ganancia de 174 yardas por la vía aérea y una intercepción.
