Jake Browning was lost early, throwing 2 bad interceptions as the Pittsburgh Steelers got out to a 24-0 lead over the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half. The defense didn't start the game much better, getting blown off the line of scrimmage in the run game, and missing tackles in the passing game. While they got a few stops and put some drives together in the second half, it just wasn't enough to get out of the oversized hole in the first half.
