Ryan Finley rushes for, throws touchdown in Bengals' upset of Steelers
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley completed 7-of-13 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown, and rushed 10 times for 47 yards and a touchdown, in a 27-17, Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
What It Means:
Finley didn't need to do much but he provided enough to enable the Bengals pull off the upset. He connected with Giovani Bernard on a 14-yard touchdown to put the squad up 17-0 a few minutes before halftime. Finley then helped put the game away with a 23-yard score on a designed run in the fourth quarter. The Bengals may decide to stick with Finley in Week 16 against the Houston Texans even if Brandon Allen (knee) is cleared to return.
Finley scored 18.3 FanDuel points on Monday night. Either he or Allen will be facing a Texans defense in Week 16 that ranks 18th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the quarterback position this season.
