The Pittsburgh Steelers got a big win on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh defeated the Bengals, 30-27. It was a special milestone for Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy, and team quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers are now the 7th starting QB-HC duo to reach 100 regular season wins,” reporter Missi Matthews posted to X, formerly Twitter.
Pittsburgh's social media team also had a little fun with Cincinnati after the game.
“meoW,” the Steelers posted to X after the win.

Pittsburgh is now 2-1 on the season following the victory. The win over the Bengals was a bounce back game for the team. The Steelers had lost in Week 2 to the New England Patriots.
McCarthy and Rodgers have worked a lot of games together. The coach and quarterback won a Super Bowl when they both worked for the Green Bay Packers. Ironically, Green Bay defeated the Steelers in the Super Bowl that season.
Following the loss, the Bengals fell to 2-1 on the year.
The Steelers offense had their best game of the season vs. Bengals
Before the game on Sunday, the Steelers announced they were switching up the starting offensive line personnel. This was after two sluggish performances by the offense during the team's first two games.
The change worked. The Steelers offensive line certainly helped protect Rodgers on Sunday. The veteran quarterback had a great game; Rodgers finished the contest with 292 passing yards and three touchdown throws.
Pittsburgh also had their highest scoring total of the season. Steelers fans love to see it, as McCarthy is expected to win a lot of games this year. He replaced Mike Tomlin, who never had a losing season as the Steelers head coach.
Pittsburgh is next in action on October 1 against another AFC North rival. The Steelers will play the Cleveland Browns that day.
