The Bengals claimed Steelers rookie WR Ke'Shawn Williams off waivers before he could clear and potentially sign with Pittsburgh's practice squad.

Cincinnati, however, was able to get the ball right back. The Steelers’ Calvin Austin III fumbled on the punt return after Bengals LB Shaka Heyward appeared to punch the ball out. Cincinnati recovered the fumble on Pittsburgh’s 33-yard line.

While it was chilly in Cincinnati, the Baltimore Ravens were red hot throughout their 24-0 win that eliminated the Bengals from playoff contention. The win also evened Baltimore's record at 7-7 while keeping them within striking distance of the first-place Steelers in the AFC North standings.
