The Cincinnati Bengals were eliminated from playoff contention after Week 18 of the NFL regular season despite quarterback Joe Burrow putting together a career-best campaign.

Joe Burrow passed for 277 yards and a touchdown, and the Cincinnati Bengals kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 19-17 win over the floundering Pittsburgh Steelers.

Burrow was shaken up after he was driven into the turf on a sack early in the second half, while the Bengals were deep in Pittsburgh territory. The Bengals quarterback stayed down on the turf for an extended period, before heading straight into the blue medical tent.
