Nice block by Muth.

Here comes a tied up game.  I knew it was too good to be true.  :(

So far, it seems like the plan for the #Steelers has been to have Jamel Dean follow Tee Higgins and keep a safety to help whoever has Ja'Marr Chase.

Chase's two catches have been slants to set up 3rd and manageable, both were followed by conversions.
Ken

All short passes against the defense.

TOUCHDOWN. Ja'Marr Chase catches a 3-yard flat route to the pylon against Asante Samuel Jr.

Pat is good.

Drive: 11 plays, 73 yards, 7:20.

#Steelers 7, Bengals 7. Q1, 5:50.

Burrow was looking too comfortable in the pocket. We need to ramp up the pass rush
Ken

Defense looked very bad.  They are really missing JPJ.
Hillbilly
1:22
I miss JPJ
Old man

This ain't Atlanta or Patriots offense
Steve

As always will need sacks and turnovers to win
Ab

Steelers D-Lineman were gashed
Barry in MD
1:22
Can we win a shootout
Ab
1:22
Remember when JPJ could man up on Chase and lock him down?
Christopher Carter

Joe Burrow on that opening drive for the Bengals:

7 of 7, for 70 yards, TD.

Hit 5 different targets on the drive.

Bengals also ran 4 times for 18 yards. #Steelers

Khan should be fired for JPJ debacle
Ken
1:23
Special teams have gotten worse this year.
Tampa Too
1:23
That’s three weeks in a row they’ve lost the toss to start the game.
Barry in MD
1:23
Little baseball maybe the Pope can bless the Pirates like he did the White Sox . Hey Don Kelly has never had a losing season.
Turk in MD
1:23
JPJ for a 1st and a player.  What position player do you want?
NC Steel
1:23
They're missing DeShon Elliott too--stout against the run and good in coverage...
Lou
1:23
Steelers gonna break their 1Q lack of points record?
Turk in MD
1:24
The CBs were playing well off Higgins and Chase - giving them all the underneath stuff.  If the rush cannot get home to Burrow...gonna be a long day
Ab
1:24
Khan thinks draft picks are more valuable than good players, missing the point that you keep good players you draft!!!
Ken
1:24
We need a nice long drive now for the defense to get their act together.
David Chestnut
1:24
nobody is giving a 1st for jpj
Jason E.
1:24
The Bengals made it look easy. Open receivers everywhere, no pass rush and could run the ball at will.
Steve
1:24
Wiejens looks a little scared on returns. Getting hit hard
Christopher Carter
1:25
Robert Spears-Jennings tagged with a hold on Kaden Wetjen's return to the 29.

#Steelers start their second drive at their own 14.
Sean
1:25
Can’t trade scores.  Will get blown out.
AdamNY
1:25
Mims is REALLY good
Ab
1:25
V worries about the D-Line
Jason E.
1:25
JPJ is not going to bring back a first and a player. No one is going to give up anything of value for a player that they have to sign for $30 million per.
Ken
1:25
Special teams are not special so far this year.
Christopher Carter
1:27
Aaron Rodgers opens the second drive with a quick pass to DK Metcalf who sat down in the zone and gets 11 yards.

Then, run to Jaylen Warren is stuffed by Dexter Lawrence, who worked Mason McCormick on the play.

Rodgers goes deep to Metcalf but good coverage by DJ Turner II makes it incomplete. #Steelers
1:28
Aaron Rodgers stands in a good pocket from the #Steelers' OL and finds Roman Wilson beating Dax Hill over the middle for 17 yards.

Jaylen Warren then bounces out wide for 13 yards. Good blocks by Troy Fautanu, Pat Freiermuth and Roman Wilson.
George C. from Scott
1:29
That might be somewhat derisive cheers for that Metcalfe catch.
OneAndDone
1:29
DK caught a pass!
Steve
1:29
The Romans are on the march
Ken
1:29
Rogers is on line today so far.  Not bad.
Christopher Carter
1:30
Darnell Washington just mauling Bengals defenders for 11 yards. My goodness, he's a problem.

Something to watch, DK Metcalf and DJ Turner are very mouthy against each other after every play. #Steelers
