The Cincinnati Bengals have always hated their AFC North Division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's QB, Ben Roethlisberger has never lost an NFL game in his home state of Ohio, until last Sunday. The Steelers can no longer say "We Dey!" and the Bengals can now answer happily "Not Pittsburgh!"
Here is how the game went. In the 1st quarter, the Steelers, on their first drive kicked a field goal to make it 3-0 Pittsburgh on top. Pittsburgh was not done in the 1st, Big Ben found Willy Parker who took it home, a 27 yard touchdown pass, the score was 10-0 after the PAT. Into the the second quarter we go, the Burgh started it out with a Jeff Reed 24 yard field goal to give the Steelers control with a 13-0 lead. The Bengals would call on the kicker, Shayne Graham to kick a 34 yard field goal to make it a 2 posses ion lead, 13-3 into the half. To start the 2nd half, Johnathan Joseph picked it off and returned it 30 yards for a TD and it was 9-13, the PAT was missed. Then from the 1 yard line, Roethlisberger took it in himself and it was 20-9 Pittsburgh on top. In the 4th, Cedric Benson ran it to the house, a 23 yard TD run, the 2 pointer was missed, it was within 5, 20-15. The Bengals were working on a game winning drive, it was 4th and 10, Palmer threw it to Leonard for a first down to keep the game alive, very next play, Palmer found Andre Caldwell in the endzone and it was 21-20 Cincinnati on top, then a 2 pointer was good to make it 23-20, and that was the final. Bengals come from behind and get an epic win. Cincinnati is now 2-1 and will face the Cleveland Browns next Sunday.
