The Most Horrifying Moments in the Steelers-Bengals Game, Ranked

In a letter to fans on Oct. 4, 2013, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wrote, “We are proud that the game is safer and more exciting today than ever.” A year later, Goodell said in an interview that “the game of football has never been safer than it is today.” And in March 2015, Goodell told The MMQB’s Peter King, “We are changing the game, for the better. The game has never been better or safer.”

Now, in a total non sequitur, here are 10 moments from Saturday night’s 18-16 Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Cincinnati Bengals, ranked in order from least- to most-horrifying.

(10) Martavis Bryant’s touchdown catch.

This brilliant, butt-assisted grab was not at all horrifying, and served as a brief reminder that football can be a beautiful, magical game. That reminder was very, very, VERY brief.

Glad to see the Stealers coaches getting slammed here.
