Stoudt Takes Blame After Steelers Narrow Loss
Steelers backup quarterback Cliff Stoudt and kicker Matt Bahr shouldered responsibility for a last minute missed 39-yard field goal that would have won the game. Bahr missed left with four seconds left as Cincinnati held on for a 17 16 win. Colquitt limped through the game, and the defense noted the late rally by Pittsburgh but Cincinnati held on.
