Cincinnati Bengals receiver and returner Ke'Shawn Williams had a costly muffed punt and fumble during the fourth quarter of the team's NFL Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

"Right off Ke'Shawn Williams' facemask," CBS analyst Ross Tucker said during the broadcast. "And the special teams are just killing Cincinnati right now."

"And it's happened on two punts," play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle added.

The fumble was recovered by the Steelers' Ben Skowronek at the Bengals' 14-yard line.

Williams played in three games for the Bengals after Cincinnati acquired him on waivers from Pittsburgh in December 2025.

Williams had nine punt returns for 95 yards, eight kickoff returns for 203 yards and one reception for five yards in his

first season with the Bengals.

Williams played in eight games for the Steelers earlier in the season, averaging 23.6 yards per kick return.
