| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. I am Matt Williamson. |
| 0:09.8 | And as usual on these night games, the buzzer just hit zero like a second ago. |
| 0:17.6 | And all in all, a pretty miserable loss, that's for sure. But boy, they make it |
| 0:23.1 | interesting at the end. I put much, much of this loss on the offense, although it got better |
| 0:32.4 | at the end. But boy, the offense was really lacking against a very, very bad defense. |
| 0:40.1 | And I thought Wilson in general was poor. |
| 0:43.5 | I thought some of the play calling was poor. |

| 1:30.9 | the game, Bengals had double the Steelers' time of possession, and they only had 16 points, |
| 1:38.8 | and the Steelers' defense made a lot of plays today. Joe Burrow made a lot of plays too, |
| 1:44.5 | but the Bengals defense or the Steelers offense was dormant for so much of this game until the end. |
| 1:54.3 | And time of possession again was a massive determining factor. |
| 1:59.8 | We've been saying that all along. They have to win time possession. |
