Bengals – Steelers II Open Thread

AUTHOR: david | IN: Uncategorized | COMMENTS: 21 Comments |

The Cincinnati Bengals go for a sweep of the Pittsburgh Steeler today at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Cincy WR Maurice Purify, called up from the practice squad just this week, is active today. Out are LB Keith Rivers and G Evan Mathis, as well as usual bench-warmers Jerome Simpson, Crash Dummy, and Moobs.

On the Steelers’ sideline, DE Travis Kirschke and former Bengals CB Keiwan Ratliff are among the inactives.

    Bengals blow the XP. 6-3 Bengals.

  4. david says:

    Missed XP on K. Huber. He bobbled it trying to set the ball down.

  5. david says:

    Bengals win a challenge – 4th and 2, forcing the punt.

  6. david says:

    Troy Polamaulu DOUBTFUL TO RETURN with a knee injury.

  7. david says:

    Leon Hall banged up, Bengals down to JJoe, Jones & Trent, at least momentarily.

  8. david says:

    Benson out with a hip flexor, should return.

  9. david says:

    Bengals hold with yet another sack of Ben. 6 all with about 4 mins. left in he half.

  10. david says:

    Benson came back in but had no pop. Looks like it will be up to Scott and Leonard to step up.

  11. david says:

    Nduke screws up and gives the Steelers a PI call on an uncatchable ball. Pitt 1st and goal now.

  12. david says:

    Bengals hold. 9-6 Steelers with :14 left in the first half. Bengals now have 4 sacks on the day.

  13. david says:

    Bengals trail by 3 at the half, which has to be considered a victory. Both teams have lost key guys, Troy for Pitt and Benson for Cincy. Neither QB has been particularly sharp. Bengals have shot themselves in the foot a couple times with penalties that killed good returns, but Pitt has committed its share of foul-ups as well. Bengals D playing well with 4 sacks and not allowing a TD. Q3 will tell. That’s where the Steelers usually come out and steamroll the Bengals.

  14. david says:

    Big pick by the Non-Dairy Dessert, sets the Bengals up in the red zone…

  15. david says:

    Bengals can’t punch it in. 9 all.

  16. david says:

    12-9 Bengals.

  17. david says:

    Q4. Bengals still up but Pitt driving.

  18. david says:

    12 all.

  19. david says:

    15-12 Bengals

  20. david says:

    18-12 Bengals.
