Another friend at the game.

From the Bengals:

Jake Browning reporting for duty.

Bengals won the toss and deferred the Steelers will get the ball to start.

Big gain from Pickett to the TE to start.

Big 4th down play here for both teams. I am a little surprised they did not go for it. They must not have much faith in the Bengals offense today.

I absolutely can’t stand delayed penalties until a player approaches the officiators, shows weakness in officiating. If you’re going to throw a flag throw it when you should.

Looks like it should be the Bengals ball.

Looks like the Bengals are going for it. I like the call I hope they actually go for it instead of taking a penalty or timeout.

I am glad they punted.  We have a chance in this game, I don't want to give it away.

Steelers go down and get a 42 yard FG by Boswell to lead 3-0 with 12:39 left in the 2nd quarter.

I just think when you are undermanned you need to take some risks. We are almost 18 minutes in and have just run 7 plays for 19 yards. The refs blew a touchdown for the Steelers or we could have already been down 10-0. We need to try and get a lead and let Mixon run and put the Steelers where they have to rely on Pickett instead of being able to run it with Harris.

Chase got loose!!

I don't disagree, it just didn't feel right to me there. 

Touchdown Bengals!!
