Steelers down Bengals 23-20

-

CINCINNATI — Chris Boswell kicked a field goal on the final play shortly after Antonio Brown caught a six-yard touchdown pass — taking a hit to the head while landing in the end zone — and the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off another improbable comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals, rallying for a 23-20 victory Monday night.

Down 17-0 early, the Steelers (10-2) extended their best start since 2004. Brown’s touchdown tied it at 20-20 with 3:51 to go, setting up Boswell’s 38-yard field goal — his second straight winner in the closing seconds.

The Bengals (5-7) simply can’t find a way to beat their Ohio River rival, not even after getting off to the big early lead. They have dropped six straight against Pittsburgh.

CALGARY — Scott Laughton scored twice and Brian Elliott made 43 saves as the Philadelph­ia Flyers snapped a 10-game losing skid on Monday night with a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames. Calgary held a wide edge in play, outshootin­g the visitors 45-21, but the opportunis­tic Flyers scored three times in a 1:11 span in the second period to break open a 1-1 game.

Valtteri Filppula, Michael Raffl and Wayne Simmonds also scored for Philadelph­ia (9-11-7), while Jakub Voracek tacked on three assists. The Flyers have points in six of their last 11 games as five of the losses during their skid came in overtime.

Troy Brouwer, with his first of the season, and Sean Monahan scored for Calgary. The Flames (14-12-1) lost three of four on their homestand and now head out East for games in Toronto and Montreal.
