The Steelers came out fired up tonight, and looked like a team with emotion and intensity that I haven’t seen in too long. The Steelers won the toss and chose to receive. The offense moved the chains well on their first possession, but ultimately stalled and had to punt.

The Bengals started from their own 7 yard line, and after strong defensive plays, were forced to punt, however, the punter dropped the snap and was tackled in the endzone. It was ruled Steelers ball on the one yard line. Moments later Le’Veon ran in for a touchdown.

On the next Bengals possession the defense was fired up and Ziggy Hood came up with a big sack giving the Steelers offense the ball again. The Steelers moved the chains and had a great 4th down play to keep the drive alive. Ultimately, the possession ended in a touchdown pass to Antonio Brown. 14-0 Steelers.

After another big defensive stand by the Steelers D, Antonio Brown took a punt to the house for 67-yards. On that play, Terence Garvin laid a massive block on the Bengals punter Huber. He suffered a broken jaw on that play. Go Steelers.
