Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 18-16 in one of the most physical, bizarre NFL playoff games in recent memory.

The Steelers jumped out to a big lead early in the second half by taking a 15-0 advantage, but the Bengals stuck around long enough to make a fourth-quarter surge. That came on the heels of a Ben Roethlisberger injury that led to two Bengals touchdowns, including an A.J. Green score with less than two minutes left that took the lead.

Pittsburgh promptly turned it over, but a Jeremy Hill fumble gave them new life and Roethlisberger returned to lead the game-winning drive. They were stuck around midfield until a Vontaze Burfict hit on Antonio Brown yielded a personal foul, and one more unthinkable 15-yard penalty on Adam Jones made Chris Boswell's kick a chip shot with 14 seconds left.

An inspiring comeback led by A.J. McCarron for the Bengals made way for one of the most heartbreaking, unthinkable last-minute defeats imaginable. Take a look below for live updates from the game.
