17-3 Steelers! Did not see this coming. They are pounding Joe Burrow
I read something earlier this year saying the new DC and new LB coach are stressing D linemen getting hands up for pass plays. Looks like it's working very well.
Steelers now seem to be having trouble putting pressure on Burrows with their 4 man rush. Will they blitz and will Burrows be able to make them pay for blitzing will be the story in the rest of the 2nd half.
Bengals hanging around - TD Tyler Boyd. They convert the 2 point conversion and score is 17-14 Steelers.
This loss will be squarely on the shoulders of the coaches for getting the ball back with under two minutes in the 4th and only killing 20 or so seconds. The second down pass call was ridiculous.
The injury to TJ Watt is concerning. Hate to speculate but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a torn pec. He seemed to know what it was right away, went straight to the locker room.
Steelers hold on to win in OT - 23-20 over the Bungles. Yes!
One of the weirder games I've seen.
Great game, tough injuries. Anytime any team in any sport in Ohio loses is a great day. Who Dey ? We Dey, Steelers rule.
Between this and the Purdue game, I've lost some years off my life. This one matters more for me having to live among this idiot Bengal fans for so many years.
Some thoughts:
1) Mitchell Trubisky is awful. I don't think I've ever seen a QB who throws off his back foot and/or falling back more often. And I don't mean when someone is in his face, I'm talking about when he's got a clean pocket. He simply will not step into a proper throw. It's infuriating.
2) The Steelers aren't good. The Bengals will be fine. Sorry, sometimes who wins the game doesn't reflect the true story. Steelers win the turnover battle 5-0, get a pick 6, and it still requires a missed extra point and missed 33 yard field goal to win? That's a terrible sign. You should win that game by 20. The Bengals will easily win more games than the Steelers this season, and I'll take anyone's bet who pretends to disagree.
3) Minkah is back and TJ was dominant, but he can't stay healthy. Great to see Minkah play like it's 2019 again. TJ continues to be the most impactful player in the league, but that injury will be crushing. And it's time to discuss whether you can depend on TJ to stay on the field long term. Watt didn't play a snap from 2012 to 2015 in college because of knee injuries. He's also now been banged up the last two years, missing time because of groin and knee issues. They haven't required him to miss significant time, but it seems like there's always some injury that has him on the injured list and playing with a brace, wrap, etc and questionable regularly.

Yeah, that was a really troubling sign as a Steelers fan. Win the turnover battle 5-0 and have to go to the last second of OT to win? Portends bad things. That offense couldn’t do anything.
Somebody explain to me how anyone on the defensive staff thought that #25 could cover Chase? He could not cover me!! The play Cincy used to tie the game… ugh… the whole world new Burrows was throwing it to Chase, did you see the coverage??? What’s worse is the Steelers called a TO to get the right play called
