Seoul Gazette - Wilson shines as Steelers beat Bengals

Wilson, a Super Bowl winner with Seattle in 2014, was released by Denver last year and signed on a one-year veteran minimum deal with the Steelers.

But having earned the starting role in Pittsburgh, ahead of Justin Fields, the 36-year-old is spearheading the team's strong push towards the playoffs.

Wilson's 25-yard touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth at the end of the third quarter was a reminder of his enduring quality, scrambling out of the pocket and finding his receiver with a fine pass on the run.

That score gave the Steelers a 34-24 lead heading into the fourth, and a 21-yard fumble recovery returned by Payton Wilson put them in firm control.

Although Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw two touchdowns in the final quarter, either side of a 30-yard Chris Boswell field goal for the Steelers, the Steelers held on for a crucial win against their divisional rivals.

The Steelers lead the AFC North on 9-3 with the Baltimore Ravens second on 8-4.

Sam Darnold threw a game-winning touchdown in the final minutes as the Minnesota Vikings fought back to beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-22 for their fifth straight win.

The Vikings sit on 10-2 for the season but are in second place in the highly competitive NFC North which is led by the 11-1 Detroit Lions with the Green Bay Packers on 9-3.

The Vikings trailed 22-16 with 1:13 left when Darnold found Aaron Jones to his right and the running back dashed into the end-zone for a 5-yard score.

It was the first time that the Vikings had been ahead in the game, in which Darnold threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns.

Geno Smith returned to haunt the New York Jets as he led the Seahawks to a 26-21 victory, clinched by Zach Charbonnet's 8-yard rushing score in the fourth.

Former Jet Smith threw for 206 yards and a touchdown while opposite number Aaron Rodgers threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns.

Jayden Daniels threw three touchdowns and ran in another as the Washington Commanders crushed the Tennessee Titans 42-19.

The Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) handed Atlanta their third straight loss with a 17-13 win with Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing four interceptions.

The Indianapolis Colts beat the New England Patriots 25-24 with Anthony Richardson throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce with 12 seconds left before the quarterback ran in the game winning 2-point conversion.

Later on Sunday, the 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles are at the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers travel to the Buffalo Bills.
