The Squealers have nine rushes for ten yards, but the 37-yard pass did the Bengals in.

Holts returns the kickoff to the 28.
Chris Henry catches a 10-yard pass on 2nd & 10.
The Bengals are stopped on 3rd & 1. Chris Perry + rush up the middle = Cedric Benson + outside run.
Following the punt, the Steelers rush up the middle for six yards to their 15.
The Steelers easily convert on third and inches.
Santonio Holmes made Leon Hall look silly and brings the Steelers to the Bengals 49. It's really starting to snow.
On 3rd and 9, the Steelers complete another long pass to Holmes.
The Steelers don't convert on 3rd and 3 and the field goal is good. There's 1:52 left. 10-7 Steelers.
Holt returns the kickoff to the 31. 1:48 left.
Fitzpatrick is sacked. It's fourth down, and the Steelers call a timeout with 1:11 left.
The Bengals punt, Limas Sweed accidentally touches the ball, and the Bengals recover the muffed punt. Typical rookie mistake. The booth is reviewing it. 1:00 left in the half.
edit: The call stands, and the Bengals are at the Steelers 39 with three timeouts left.

On 3rd and five, Houshmandzadeh catches a pass for no gain.
The Bengals go for it on fourth down and don't convert. Steelers have the ball with 0:28. They kill the clock. Steelers are winning 10-7 at halftime.
Good game so far. The Bengals have done a nice job protecting the QB. And the mistakes by Pitt (and poor playcalling) have kept the Bengals in the game. One half to go and the Bengals do have an opportunity should they rush the passer against the Steeler's putrid offensive line. The key is to keep the Steelers in 3rd-and-long.

The kickoff was field on a hop and returned just past the 20 yard line.
