Cincinnati sweeps Pittsburgh!

By:  Duron Lewis

The Cincinnati Bengals were trying to remain perfect in the AFC North, and take 1st place outright in the division.  The Bengals were able to do so with an 18-12 win.  Here is how.

On Pittsburgh's opening drive, Jeff Reed kicked a 28 yard field goal, 3-0.  On the very next play, the kickoff, Bernard Scott, the rookie out of ACU took it 96 yards for a touchdown, the PAT was failed, but the Bengals were leading 6-3.  Then after 2 Reed field goals in the 2nd QRT, the Steelers had a 9-6 lead.  Then in the 3rd QRT  Shayne Graham had 2 field goal and Cincy had a 12-9 lead into the 4th.  Pittsburgh would tie it up when Jeff Reed kicked a 34 yarder, 12-12.  Cincinnati would get 2 field goals in the 4th, one from 32 yards out, and one from 43 yards out, it was 18-12, and that was the final.   Cincinnati is now 7-2 and 1st in the AFC North. 
Stats:  Palmer: 18/30,  178 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT.  
Scott: 13 carries, 33 yards.  Coles: 5 rec, 67 yards
