Cincinnati quarterback Joe Flacco passed for 342 yards and three touchdowns and Evan McPherson drilled a 36-yard field goal with seven seconds left to lift the Bengals 33-31 over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday in the NFL.

Flacco out-dueled Aaron Rodgers in just the third NFL regular-season game to feature two 40-something starting quarterbacks.

The 41-year-old Rodgers threw for 244 yards with four touchdowns, but was intercepted twice.

Rodgers escaped pressure in the pocket to connect with tight end Pat Freiermuth for a 68 yard touchdown with 2:31 remaining that put Pittsburgh up 31-30.
