Evan McPherson’s field goal with seven seconds left gave the Cincinnati Bengals a dramatic 33-31 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The victory ended a four-game losing streak for the Bengals (3-4), while the Steelers (4-2) were defeated on the road for the first time this season.

In just the fourth meeting between two quarterbacks over 40, Joe Flacco threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns for the Bengals.

On the other side, Aaron Rodgers threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns but was intercepted twice.

A Jonnu Smith touchdown had helped the Steelers take a 10-0 lead before the Bengals responded with Ja’Marr Chase, who finished with 16 receptions for 161 yards, and Tee Higgins crossing the line to take a 20-10 lead.

Pittsburgh’s Pat Freiermuth and Cincinnati’s Noah Fant traded touchdowns before Darnell Washington reached the end zone for the Steelers.

A Freiermuth touchdown put the Steelers up 31-30 before McPherson’s fourth field goal of the game gave the Bengals the victory.
