This is going to be ugly. I just received a message from the Bengals:
Dear Frostee Rucker, Marvin White, Rashad Jeanty, and the rest of the defense,
For this game, we are incapable of scoring, as you probably guessed. Our strategy is to have the ball for as little time as possible so we can avoid costly turnovers. We plan on relying on you guys to score all our points. Good luck.
Your pals,
The Bengals offense (A.K.A. The Three-and-Outs)
You're a glutton for punishment.

I won't be doing a play-by-play, but after a couple possessions, I'll say this. The Bengals' defense is looking solid, and the offense looks like, well . . . it looks like they're trying. If they're going to get anywhere, it looks like it's going to be three- and four-yard dump passes at a time.
We're all sick, aren't we.
Glenn Holt just caught a touchdown pass. Fitzpatrick really threaded a needle for that one.
7-0 Bengals.
Great start by Fitzpatrick. They are concentrating on quick short passes with the inexperiened OL and he is 7 for 8 passing so far and ends the drive with the 10 yard TD pass to Holt.
The Steelers have a big return and a pass for a first down to put them at the Bengals 42.
The Steelers punt out of bounds to the Bengals' 12. Still 7-0.
The first quarter is over. The Bengals have 3rd and 3 on their 24 yard line.
Despite not having Levi Jones and Andrew Whitworth, the left side of the line is actually doing a pretty good job so far.
The Bengals don't convert, and Larson shanks it out of bounds to the Steelers' 45.
The Steelers are charged with holding on first down, and the next play, a 14 yard pass to Heath Miller is completed.
Whines Hard just caught a pass that puts the Steelers at the Bengals' 13.
On fourth and one, the Steelers convert. 1st and goal.
Touchdown Steelers, Worthlessberger to Filler.
