The Bengals and Steelers traded field goals to start Sunday’s game.
The Bengals then took the lead, 10-3, after a 1-yard touchdown run by Andy Dalton on their second series. They got to the goal line on a 39-yard pass interference penalty on Artie Burns but didn’t score until fourth down.
Both teams need the game badly. The 5-7-1 Bengals have no margin for error, and they’d love to play spoiler against the 8-5 Steelers, who came into the day a game ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North.
Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt was taken to the locker room during the first series. He returned to the sideline during the next drive, but he’s yet to return to the game.
