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.

12-9 Bengals.
Bengals can't punch it in. 9 all.
Big pick by the Non-Dairy Dessert, sets the Bengals up in the red zone...
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.
Bengals hold. 9-6 Steelers with :14 left in the first half. Bengals now have 4 sacks on the day.
Nduke screws up and gives the Steelers a PI call on an uncatchable ball. Pitt 1st and goal now.
Benson came back in but had no pop. Looks like it will be up to Scott and Leonard to step up.
Bengals hold with yet another sack of Ben. 6 all with about 4 mins. left in he half.
Benson out with a hip flexor, should return.

Missed XP on K. Huber. He bobbled it trying to set the ball down.
Bernard Scott with the KO return for a TD!
