Steelers hold off Bengals

Antwaan Randle El threw a 39-yard touchdown pass off a trick play Monday night, and the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers turned a fumble, a blocked punt and an interception into points before barely holding on for a 27-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals (2-6).

The Steelers (6-2) kept pace with Baltimore atop the AFC North by taking advantage of the Bengals' many mistakes and overcoming a few of their own.
