Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3-0)

Harrison was fined $5,000 for unnecessary roughness when he struck Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth late.
The Steelers lost the game 18-12 to the first-place Bengals.

Reed has been absolved by the Steelers for his poor tackling effort Sunday in an 18-12 loss to the Bengals in which he failed to bring down Bernard Scott on a 96-yard kickoff return for a TD.
Reed only halfheartedly tried to bring down Scott, but coach Mike Tomlin won't blame a kicker for the latest touchdown. Kickers rarely have the speed, mobility or quickness to do more than get in the way of a returner downfield. "Man, I am not going to go down to evaluating Jeff Reed as a tackler," Tomlin said. "When it comes down to that, we have failed as a coverage unit. I don't lose any sleep on the quality of Jeff Reed's tackles."

Holmes had seven catches for 88 yards Sunday in the Steelers' 18-12 loss to the Bengals.
Holmes also short-armed a potential touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger, but overall had a solid day. That should continue next week against a shaky Kansas City defense.

Mendenhall had 13 carries for 36 yards Sunday in the Steelers' 18-12 loss to the Bengals.
Mendenhall had a few decent gains but the Steelers never really committed to running the ball. Look for him to get more touches next week in Kansas City.
