Bengals Bytes (10/16): Teryl Austin sticks to his decision that gave up the game-winning touchdown

Teryl Austin isn’t second guessing his decision that allowed the Steelers to score the game-winning touchdown.

Bengals Secondary Goes From Canton To New Passing Chief Mahomes
Bengals slot corner Tony McRae may have a mere 70 NFL snaps to his credit, but he has a veteran’s soul as he finds himself in the cross hairs of what has become the league’s self-imposed weekly officiating follies.

Marvin Lewis News Conference Transcript - 10/15
“After going through everything again last night and this morning, we had opportunities in the game. The biggest thing is that we need to be more consistent, whether on offense to keep drives going or doing the right things on defense. (We need to) keep managing the football game as best as we can. Defensively, third downs were once again critical. The offense had a good day on third down and should’ve had two more conversions, which makes a difference in the game. Those are areas that we still have to do a better job of by understanding the situation, execution and making sure everyone gets their job done.”

Quick Hits: Austin Won't Second Guess Gamble
On Sunday the Bengals led the Steelers, 21-20, and Pittsburgh had the ball on the Bengals 31 with 15 seconds left. Plenty of time to run a few plays that would give Chris Boswell a chip-shot field goal for a guy that has never missed against the Bengals on 22 field-goal attempts. Austin, Cincy’s first-year defensive coordinator, knew it was now or never. Boswell is 0-for-3 from beyond 40 yards this season. If the Steelers ran, an all-out blitz would stop it. If they passed, an all-out blitz would get the pressure they had lacked all day. If quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went with a quick flip in the middle of the field, it could go all the way.

Should Antonio Brown's game-winning TD vs. Bengals have been called back? The NFL weighs in
It wouldn't be Steelers-Bengals if the game didn't come down to the last play and if said last play didn't involve some controversy. On Sunday afternoon, Cincinnati took a 21-20 lead with with 1:18 to go. Pittsburgh's offense needed six plays to move to the Bengals 31-yard line, and with 10 seconds to go, Cincy sent the house on a blitz. Ben Roethlisberger responded with a quick strike to Antonio Brown for the winning touchdown.

Bengals' Dre Kirkpatrick: Steelers 'ain't better than us'
The Cincinnati Bengals entered Week 6 with an opportunity to gain control in the AFC North with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals also had a chance to make a statement against their arch nemesis, but a 28-21 loss in the waning seconds of the game left a bitter taste with two Cincinnati veterans.

Nick Vigil of Cincinnati Bengals sprains MCL, out for month
Vigil injured his left knee following a cut block by Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix. Vigil went to the ground and stayed there for a few moments before trying to get up and hop to the sideline. He fell to the ground again before athletic trainers came out to assist him, and then he immediately went to the locker room. Vigil was quickly declared out.

2018 Cincinnati Bengals notes: Marvin Lewis, NFL disagree on OPI
Opinions differ about wideout Antonio Brown’s game-winning touchdown Sunday in the final minute of the Steelers 28-21 win against the Bengals. NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron said Sunday it was Bengals Tony McRae who initiated contact with Hunter, who created a pick to spring Brown untouched for the 31-yard score.

NFL Week 7 early odds: Chiefs favored big over Bengals team that can't win on Sunday nights
Although most people are well aware of the fact that the Bengals haven't been able to win in the playoffs under Marvin Lewis, things are almost as bad for the team in Sunday night games. Since NBC took over the Sunday night package in 2006, the Bengals have played a total of seven games, and it's been ugly: They've gone 0-7 straight-up and 1-6 against the spread (ATS). Ouch.
