Watch: Bengals fall for Steelers fake punt

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

For most of the second half, Steelers Nation was asking: how do we put the Bengals away?

Who know that the answer to that question lied in a fake punt on 4th-and-7 with 6:53 to go in the game!

Lined up on their own 40-yard line, Steelers special teams captain Robert Golden called for a direct snap, lobbing a throw which looked more like a basketball pass (or alley-oop) than a football one, to a wide-open Darrius Heyward-Bey down the sidelines.

The play gained 44 yards as the Steelers ran the ball three consecutive times to chew some clock, before Chris Boswell kicked his fifth field goal of the afternoon to give the Steelers what would be a final, 29-14 victory over Cincinnati.
