The Bengals have taken valuable lessons from their loss to the Steelers.
In a Week 12 NFL football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback DJ Turner II is unable to defend a pass caught by Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
The Cincinnati Bengals faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 16-10 loss, with backup Jake Browning joining the 100% club for the first time this season. Trenton Irwin had 72% of snaps, while rookie Andrei Iosivas had 33%. Joe Mixon dominated running back touches at 65 percent, while rookie Chase Brown did not get a chance. Four tight ends received usage, with Drew Sample (44%) fending off Irv Smith Jr. (47%). Dax Hill and DJ Turner were the only 100 snap players on defense, fueling the youth movement. Chidobe Awuzie returned from an early season back issue, playing 96 percent of snaps. Jordan Battle played 83% of snaps, while first-rounder Myles Murphy made 31% of snaps but made some pressure-creating plays.
