Bengals rally to beat Steelers 23-20

CINCINNATI — With another last-minute drive, the Bengals earned some legitimacy and won back their town.

Carson Palmer threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell with 14 seconds left Sunday, completing a nearly perfect drive that gave the Bengals a 23-20 victory Sunday and ended the Steelers’ nearly decade-long domination in Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh (1-2) had won its last eight games on Cincinnati’s home field. The last time the Bengals beat them at Paul Brown Stadium was 2001, when Chad Ochocinco was a rookie who rarely started and still went by the name of Johnson.

Ochocinco doesn’t remember much from that long-ago game. The Bengals (2-1) won’t soon forget this one.
