The magic of Joe Flacco was alive and well on Thursday Night Football for all the world to see once again as the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 33-31 in a thriller. Flacco was masterful all night and played almost flawlessly in a must-win game for a team he just joined a little over a week ago. The 18-year veteran went 31-47 with 342 yards passing and three touchdowns, and no interceptions, and capped it off with a game-winning drive with several great throws, including the dagger to Tee Higgins. The win pushes the orange and black to 3-4 and, more importantly, 2-0 in the division with a nice mini-bye coming up and then back-to-back home games against the New York Jets and Chicago Bears.
