and Warren Road record for the Pittsburgh Steelers that won two consecutive games overall and a season ago Cincinnati was seven and nine I don't think anybody saw Owen six whack in the Bengals across the head the way enhance well they've earned where they are with inconsistent play in all phases there we go battle in the North Steelers and bangles and this is Davenport gets Green Bay Packer running around he was hittin brought down by Tyrus at the 25-yard line a bear brings him down now the Steeler offense quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hurt his shoulder we've won but right now might be his bestie is felt since then he is the ninth ready quarterback in the league right tackle will still be manned by Colonus the left side which is a concern Marvell Smith is out with back spasms and Max starts will take his place and running back Willie Parker out again reactivated that knee in practice earlier this week in Pittsburgh and so taking his play feet morality more from the 25 its first and ten for the Pittsburgh Steelers Nikhil's Rebecca there's a baggage snack from Hartwig to Roethlisberger and back to the 22 on a loss of three let's talk about that Cincinnati defense coming off its best performance of the season against the Jets last week then you just see that's not the way you want to start the game simple quarterback Center exchange something you work on day one in training camp coming off the bye what did you find when you play and were some issues for a team quarterback coming off a bye week well you know what you haven't played given this playing last week sometimes you little rusty a lot of these veteran players did not do a lot of work this week they really want to take a look at some of the younger player that Lobster couple tight ends now second down in 13 yards to go and the good fake to more Roethlisberger so good those folks who dumps it off the heat Miller was banged out of bounds by the linebacker Genting at about the 27 yard line on a catch and run of 6 yards on the play Antwon Odom on that defensive line of the Fingal's he leads him insects the rookie linebacker Keith Rivers has been a good addition to this team 9th overall pick out of USC and in Duke way replaces Dexter Jetson at strong safety injection will take the place of Marvin white in the secondary and free save did second down with a third down and 7 to go the Bengals have gone to the nickel that means David Jones has come in the nickel linebacker is Brandon Johnson 3rd down and 7 though they really like these but sets up top right here they love to tight Bunch that means Washington is the third receiver they go outside that's hangs Nord he's got the force down is on the move who makes a great cutting side and takes it to the 43 yard line had brought down on the play by entwine Odum it's a catch and run at 29 yards his hind wards catches a pass for the 150 second consecutive game and they're bringing pressure because they have a difficult time getting pressure on the quarterback with their front floor and you see those punch sets it makes it very difficult for the secondary because there's so many picks coming off the line of scrimmage back to a regular defense now at four defensive backs to Titanes with noir in the backfield for Roethlisberger from the 43 make a guarantee ma he got right by they uncommon rush the Blitz was owned by Jonathan Joseph in Duke way on the far side makes a grab on the receiver who was Ward it's a gain of six on the play a player is down across the way at about the 43 yard line and just keep an eye on Hines Ward I mean this is a guy that throws his body around he is a most complete receiver in the game he is unselfish a great competitor and he's willing to block Smith the one who caught the past timeout the injured Cincinnati Bengal was the rookie rivers out of USC bleeding from the mouth second down in for Spieth the one to catch it game six the block by Ward on a 37 yard line balls in the backfield it's an end-around this is Nate Washington o4p undrafted player at tiffany's brought down by Antoine Odom and the end-around produces six that is another first down mark the ball at the 31 yard line let's go revisit that block again by Warren watch.watch Rafa he's fearless in the pocket he holds the ball till the very end just watch Hinds war at the end here cleaning up the play the thing you know about him is he doesn't take plays off up do whatever it takes to win as a clean block there by Hines Ward Brandon Johnson has taken the place of the injured Rivers on the sidelines at that linebacker position another first down for Pittsburgh they began this Drive under 25 the big play 29 yard catch and run behinds war this is the first possession of the game - Mason lured emotion with a couple of tight ends and on the other side there was some movement both start offense number 68 five-yard penalty the first out that's the left guard Chris Kemoeatu and there goes rivers it almost looked like he was bleeding inside his mouth on his tongue and they will go and take a look more specifically inside the Bengal locker than when we get word we'll pass it on to you so now it is first in 15 for defensive back for the Bengals still the two tights in Pittsburgh plays as much too tight and as any team in the NFL there's Roethlisberger isabella passes complete for Ward and the coverage on the play by Leon Hall we'd like to welcome those of you watching are trying to watch San Diego and the Buffalo Bills you're in Cincinnati with the Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers because of technical difficulties in Orchard Park you'll be here until they get that rectified out east and then we'll send you back to the Chargers and the Bengals in the Buffalo Bills game seven play the drive second down in 15 for better game isn't it second down and 15 again the two times for Pittsburgh [Music] the wing was Leon Hall also hit by a nucleon a gain of two for more who is the third different starting running back this season for the Pittsburgh Steelers the most in the NFL well the number one priority for any defense has to be stopping the run and the Bengals still haven't figured that out a way to do that the 28th to giving up 156 yards again but they are getting better than showing signs of improvement and late they have seated in a good job stringing out the worldi more early in this game Nickelback is Jones extra receiver Washington 1313 many of the 21-yard on this is gonna pop in down the bank that they have a deal with it off the field bananas check in on the defensive line good pay on his name Santonio Holmes to the two and brought down by the Honda Jones a pitch on 32 yards roughness burger right on the money Jones the tackle first and goal Pittsburgh and this is going to be a problem for the Bengals all day Ben Roethlisberger will sit in there and take a hit and he has great vision his eyes are always down the field he doesn't see the rush and he makes a lot of plays late in the play go sit in there but do whatever it takes to find a completion now J Davenport has checked in the two tight ends in there for fat now make it three McHugh is on the near side they that speak and Miller on the farm first and goal at the 2 more on his effort and he's got the touchdown beating the linebacker Brandon Johnson a 2 yard touchdown pass that goes to Morel day more his first reception in the end zone this year for the Steelers this is just the way you want to start when you're on the road the first drive go out there get a couple completions and then finish it off with a score and that's this is an example right there Brandon Johnson filled in for Keith rivers he had his eyes in the backfield he was a little late getting out to the flat to cover Milwaukee more and for Moore who signed as a free agent from the Vikings with the Steelers this past offseason that is his fourth touchdown reception of his career here is x2 point making at 7zip Pittsburgh on the first possession big plays a 29 yard catch and run by Ward of 32 yard reception by Holmes ending up with the Roethlisberger touchdown pass the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines low fares no hidden fees FedEx your ultimate NFL air and ground player and by the all-new Dodge Ram never back down from a challenge Ben Roethlisberger has just thrown a 2 yard touchdown pass to moe LD more and for Ben Roethlisberger one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the NFL his eighth touchdown pass of the season a meticulous drive with big gains of 29 to ward on third down and 32 yards through the air to San Antonio home on third down 5 of 6 to 5 different receivers that nice chaps spreading the ball down around that Drive rookie Andre Caldwell is back Glenn hold is injured and so Caldwell is a rookie from Florida from the 4 yard line get into the read kickoff he gets a block from Kelly and there he goes upfield he finally brought down by second-year linebacker Lawrence Timmons it is a 35 yard return Ryan Fitzpatrick starts for the injured Carson Palmer he is all in five as a starter on the offensive line not a starter has missed the game but issues nonetheless 19 SEC's allowed 17 all of last season and recently signed running backs Cedric Benson replaces the ineffective Chris Perry in the starting lineup antonio Chapman becomes the third receiver and its first in ten from the 38 yard line for Fitzpatrick who played at Harvard initially drafted by the st. Louis Rams Benson good block by Kelly not by failure brought down by hookin by Harrison on a gain of a yard and he's up to about the 38 yard line second oldest offensive line in the NFL nose tackled PC Hampton misses his third straight game with the groin injury Chris hope will replace him Diesel's back today back from injury the best sack cannon in the NFL so far Whitley and Harrison starting on the outside and on the secondary Troy Polamalu has three of the Pittsburgh four interceptions so far this year Chuck in that long nine [Applause] Kelly is in the Swat Chapman is the extra receiver fitzpatrick at stock by TJ no strings on who along with wes welker that all these zebras are season to go on the NFL farrier the stop gain of three to the 42 well the bengals have to find a way to get out of the gates better they have not started games really well too many three and outs they lead the National Football League and they've scored just Tim toys all season in the first quarter I think part of the problem is not only are they missing carson palmer but the big plays have all but evaporated from this offense 5 in the second area that means to Jay Townsend is out there third down and six Polamalu playing a deep safety here Chapman remains that third receiver and go outside looking for Chris Henry and the coverage on the plane was turned in by four-year starter Ike Taylor and so it's a quick punt for these cincinnati bengals three and out on their first possession you know pittsburgh is gonna test ryan fitzpatrick early pretty good protection the thing about this the defense the corners on this Pittsburgh defense they play off and they drive on routes that's the way Dick LeBeau coaches him up Santonio Holmes is back inside the 15 an error at trial nice packaging 42 yards of clunk stayed clear and he gets a nice world of running down to about the 15-yard line of the Pittsburgh Steelers will get it for a second time 45-yard punt 8:12 in the first Plus burger with a quick touchdown pass will see him for the second time we come back second possession for the Pittsburgh Steelers beginning now at their own 13 yard line to begin the last one at the 25 first and 10 there is a Nickelback out there for Cincinnati's defense and at his David Jones quick slant Santonio Holmes Jones well enough to stop about the 22 yard line on a quick gain of nine two yard touchdown pass already by Roethlisberger in this game big play on that Holmes catch 32 yards and ward at one 429 to catch and run and he sees some of the snow hold on we talked with Ben Roethlisberger lasted he says he loves this package it gives him more flexibility at the line of scrimmage to get him to do the best possible play based on the front and the coverage Washington is the third receiver it is second down and one for defensive backs will be more no more offering applaud and Brandon Johnson out there runs him out of bounds Johnson taking the place of the injured Keith Rivers it's a gain of three to the 25 and by the way rivers we have just been told has a jaw injury they don't think he's going to return till see a lot of Brandon Johnson at the linebacker today this offense Pittsburgh's offense has evolved under Bruce Arians they spent a majority of the snaps and the last game at Jacksonville calling plays at the line of scrimmage you know been likes it get some more flexibility and certainly responsibility making sure they get into the best possible play still the three receivers with Washington is the thirds don't fall in the secondary so first and ten for Roethlisberger [Applause] and then they jump on his back went by Antoine Odom the ex Tennessee Titan who came here is a big-time free agent inna for on the play up to about the 29 yard line no they like mo well D more now he's not the big banger that's gonna get up there and run a lot of times between the tackles he's more of a perimeter player lilia thought of him as a third down back and he really thrives in his no huddle package and I anticipate we'll see a lot of it today because of the running back situation for stealers Walker comes in at the right defensive end for Odom Jones is the fifth defensive back just added so into the nickel with the second down and six and three receivers at his disposal it's Ben Roethlisberger he blocked over there by Hartwig and he'll be close to a first down a gain of about five yards near the 35 yard line depending on whether they're gonna put it in a 34 just watch the push they have seven eight men up the line scream so look at the course but the offensive line is getting from the Steelers I mean Hartwig Stapleton ki Baraat to inside they get good push and then they had the ability to get up on the second level and get some of those linebackers down in one they loved in other ones who talked about as you said Roethlisberger thinks this is the most effective offense they've got at that time on that third and short there was no a gain on the play Russell had just come in and there was nothing doing stopped by the interior by Petco and by John Fort Lee so it's fourth down and pitch go down their second possession left the punch when you give yourself no chance when they don't even block Brandon Johnson off the edge and that's just what happened there but this Mill huddle package Kevin really helps Pittsburgh it makes Mike Zimmer the defensive coordinator really takes him out of the equation in terms of Cincinnati's ability to dial up blitz it's better to punt and be back will be Antonio Chapman looking in that bright Ohio sent the twine three got by the oncoming rush of day that he's brought down by Ryan Clark with the nice special teams tackle for him for a loss of one 43-yard punt 457 the first Roethlisberger a touchdown pass the NFL on CBS is sponsored by the new AT&T your world delivered and by Bud Light the difference is drinkability this biggest punted second possession for 6090 22 yard line first and 10 mares of bobbled handoff and TJ ice creams on his brought down Aaron Smith back at about the 7 yard line loss of 15 on the play boy this was ugly looks like a little bit of miscommunication there you can see TJ Houston Zeta either he went in front of the back or he wasn't anticipating that end around and Harrison came in and disrupted the play so now Tim ins comes in as the Nicko linebacker they bring in Touche Thompson's second down in 25 hands down the backfield very sheet reads out there for we've Cincinnati Bengals Antonia Chapman by wedgied killer Benson Polamalu coming in and bringing them down and that a gain of eight on the play for the former Chicago Bears Cedric Benson well they need to be able to run the ball with some consistency and take some of this pressure off a Ryan Fitzpatrick and you can see right here Cedric Benson he's a physical runner he'll run up inside between those tackles and this is the kind of production that they need they may they haven't had their 26 and 2006 last year they were 24th this year their 31st just added 72 yards a game on the ground that's not alone Thomson standing up I got Timmons administer the look along Darko 1317 Halen's guitar the probe receiver to go for Piazza those of you waiting has watch the Chargers in the bills from Orchard Park there is a stadium outage they have power issues at the stadium an on CBS issue and when they get that rectified we'll send you back out for that San Diego Buffalo Bills game you know Kevin tonic possession is going to be an issue they had not they've not got enough with the opportunities punt by Kyle Larson that's to her over Mike miss strike by the fifth year felony arson Wow 317 first quarter after a 15 yard punt by since a look where Pittsburgh begins at first in ten from the pengal 30-yard line in Washington is their third receiver with more in the backfield and this is Morel Dee Moore and he's brought down by - honey Jones it's a gain of three on the play and he's down to the 27 yard line and you talked about a battle field position in this game of football the steelers picked up 57 yards on that exchange of possession under three minutes to play Roethlisberger here in this first quarter has thrown a touchdown pass of two yards second down in seven bit punt by Cincinnati gives Pittsburgh this possession up the 27 yard line [Applause] along with the block that's fines war brought down by Leon Hall our former number one pick out of Michigan gained is eight earlier in the game Ward had a kitchen run of twenty nine yards he's down to the 19 yard line right there and as a first down you're gonna see I'm gonna see Cincinnati today bringing a lot more pressure from the perimeter linebackers corners and safeties because they can't generate enough pressure with their front for neither coming to today's game they have just five sacks that's not enough we can't let Ben Roethlisberger's sit back there and Pat the ball David Jones is the Nickelback for Cincinnati first and ten from the 19 yard line for Pittsburgh on their third possession today [Applause] my heart with more comes in to help out the sport of the ACE on looking for Washington the coverage by Jones a little bit high and uncatchable an incomplete it'll be second down you know Ben Roethlisberger's a lot like a young Brett Favre I mean he has tremendous confidence and he has a tough time giving up on a play and I mean sometimes it gets him in trouble but a lot of times he pulls something out of the Hat I mean it almost got it done there to Nate Washington but he has great size and great vision of the pocket he's very difficult to sack Pittsburgh is taking a timeout late first quarter the MetLife blimp is providing today's aerial coverage beautiful Scenic's of downtown Cincinnati look for the MetLife blimps as we team up with CBS Sports for more coverage this fall in again at the 30 on a bad punt by Cincinnati now a second down and 10 still the receiving group out there in the slide of Tucker's screen is the tight-end Miller second down and ten nickels still out there defensively for the Cincinnati Bengals Roethlisberger seven and nine throwing the ball hands off and by Mary Mary they are down to the two yard line it's a 16 yard game brought down across the way by Brandon Johnson a beautiful play 16 yard gallop in its first and goal will they tell if they want to work on the draw game the Sprint draw something that was a focus for them during the bye week and the well D Moore's a shifty bag he does a nice job in space following that outfits of line out and firm 5 defensive lineman for Cincinnati the key which in the backfield the tight end slash fullback first and goal from the 3 more got the eye two tight ends out there with space until atop his dream the fake the more John Hines Ward was back there and a linebacker on him Donnie Jones incomplete second down and goal also they had Hall back there you talk about recoveries it's a nice job by Leon Hall he gets beat early on the slant route by Hines Ward but it's a nice job catching back up and extending his body diving knocking down that little slant throw intended for Hines Ward now a six defensive back isn't brought on by Cincinnati second down goal two tanks and more in the backfield these are the motion Holmes and his son that is broken up Paul again they were looking for Hines Ward who was looking for a flag and he's not going to get it in so Hall back-to-back terrific defensive plays in the secondary for Cincinnati he might have got there just a split second he'll you watch with his throw us that's pretty good coverage there by a little good timing yep you know been bent could have been a little bit earlier there - wait you're late these guys had such good speed on the back in both these corners Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall big speed they do a nice job driving to the ball Sims is coming on the defensive on the working for Auburn for Cincinnati six on the back here third I'm going for timeout taken by uncle Springer he burns his second right there with 51 seconds to play and the first he's already thrown a touchdown pass of two yards he's moving his Steelers in again 7-zip Pittsburgh Roethlisberger is used to timeouts on this drive already 51 seconds to play here in the first he's already got a touchdown pass of two yards two more to start the game then you can already tell this is a very similar game plan to what they use two weeks ago on the Sunday night win over Jacksonville more of an up-tempo spread him out and kiss a cape man if this game is close probably filling the ball at least 40 times in this game I should get a sanitary sewer third down and four [Applause] [Music] there was coverage on the pride buy and do play and they all said Robert gathers off the edge off that left defensive end in the guerrilla breakfast burger and so they have got to try for three as Cincinnati holds him out after they had first and goal at the three that's a good job as you said by Robert gathers getting his hands up making it difficult for Ben Roethlisberger to get that ball up and down Reed is in there and it's not missed a field goal this season but that calf injury against Jacksonville and he puts it through and extends the Pittsburgh lead ten zip over Cincinnati in 42 seconds remaining in the first of frustrated Roethlisberger Marvin Lewis throw fit happy there because his defense holds him out of the end zone so a 21-yard field goal by Reed and the poles of open go down to nfl.com slash Popo and vote for your favorite players for the 2009 NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii you vote they play exclusively at nfl.com / ho-ho well we talked about in the open about what cincinnati has to do to win and I think that Bob rutkowski the offensive coordinator for Cincinnati is in a tough spot there down he wants to have a somewhat aggressive but conservative plan when you keep in mind that Ryan Fitzpatrick two young guys making just his sixth career start I really think you have to take the training wheels off you have to open this thing up and take the fight to the Steelers attack throw the ball around a little bit and then and then that will open up some opportunities later in this game to be able to run the football and you can see right there the Bowen six start something that the bangles are kind of used to almost double the team in second place on that graphic Caldwell is deep back and Reed will kick off for the Pittsburgh Steelers seven consecutive wings for Pittsburgh Erin Cincinnati and gone round we'll go to him and leave it in the end zone until we get the touch back and it's out to the 20-yard line and we'll get to see Fitzpatrick for a third time who is from Harvard he was the Ivy League Player of the Year he played Harvard from 2001 through all four he threw for over five thousand yards and had 39 touchdown passes seventh round pick by st. Louis he was traded to Cincinnati before the beginning of last season didn't play last year because of Carson Palmer and his Iron Man streak now the Palmer is out Fitzpatrick is the guy they haven't funded Chad Johnson at first until I start this their drive at their 20-yard line that's the screws out on the moon and coach Spears the phobic in the backfield [Applause] Rizzo comes up with a dissent he gobbles up fitzpatrick on a loss of seven that at the 13 yard line set number seven for James Harrison the team MVP a season ago and Reggie Kelly you see that trident at the top of your screen he has his hands full today as does levi jones a left tackle but brian fitzpatrick as tough as it is you have to learn to really step up in the pocket against this Pittsburgh defense they bring Whitley and Harrison off the edge it makes it very difficult for quarterbacks in the pocket the Shayne Townsend has come in as a extra defensive back second down 17 then eight the 30 Chapman has become the extra receiver for Fitzpatrick and goes outside the antonio Chapman the expec has brought down by Brian McFadden it's a gain of five no spot the ball and these 17 yard line and they're making things difficult for themselves if you're not successful on first down against his Pittsburgh defense it's going to be a long day if you get Dick LeBeau lot to these situations as he's second and long to these third and 12 he is gonna heat you up with all his fire zones Roethlisberger's got a 2 yard touchdown pass and Cincinnati and an early hole [Music] we start the second quarter with Cincinnati facing third down in 12 they've got Henry and Chapman as the two extra receivers for all together Shay Townsend has the nickel back for Pittsburgh and front of the 18 yard line that's it at the side of expansion Harrison Henry and there was pressure up the middle and that was applied by Lamar Woodley coverage by farrier boy they come at you and streams and so they got a punt the Bengals do once again for the third consecutive time and this is going to be a problem for Ryan Fitzpatrick he's not the tallest guy thick he struggles at times with his vision in the pocket I mean he told us the other day he it's tough seen over some of these offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth the left tackle is six foot seven last month by Larson sailed 15 yards Holmes has bent inside his own 40-yard line for the Pittsburgh Steelers we got this one off Santonio findings from the 32-yard I'm for Pittsburgh he's got one punt return touchdown in his career and he's out to the 43 eighties brought down on the play by the long snapper Brad st. Louis 50-yard punt 14:38 in the second after the Larsen 50-yard punt 44 yard line hit comes Roethlisberger 10 no in the state of Ohio as a starting quarterback against Cleveland and Cincinnati and as hell fall for its first down and 10 nickel secondary for the Bengals with James Washington as the 3rd wide receiver good block by Starks going to throw up in four hands and then complete the coverage by the aforementioned Nickelback Jones it'll be second down and ten you've always said that he think the longer that Roethlisberger has to quarterback the more ownership he gets in this offense of Pittsburgh yeah he has evolved and that you know the departure of Alan Faneca and now in his fifth season I think he's assumed more of a leadership role of this football team he reached out to some defensive players and played that smarter I wish I would have done that but he said it's already starting to pay dividends for me see right now they're just empty no backs set five receivers out they really like this then Roethlisberger does a good job reading the covers and get the ball out very quickly diseases more brought down by in Duke way near the 50-yard line the weld a more they can get start today for the injured Willie Parker it's a gain of six on the plane at about the 50-yard line keep an eye out Ben Roethlisberger today at the line of scrimmage you're going to see him sometimes get up from Center and shake his hand off what they do is they call two plays either at the huddle or at the line of scrimmage then takes a look at it and if it's not to play it but if it's not the look that they want mature compared to the second floor it makes it easier that sneeze with an unavailing that the offensive plays already go with the second failure Jackson's coming as a safety monster 72 five-yard penalty it's third down that's his offensive guards a little jumpy now we had one on keeping out two earlier now Stapleton Darnell Stapleton taking the place of course of Kendall Simmons and tor and Achilles second career start this afternoon he was a center of starting center that Rutgers is a second-year player and that's really when the topic Mike timer last night he said we're we're better this year is we have good depth in a lot of places and I think particularly that offensive line you see those guys film in max starts making this they can start at left tackle today for Marvel school they're down in nine now they don't white debut the plays of Jack's in a facility here comes the pledge to go outside Clark dead in mid motion before the ball was snapped the lay of game offense five-yard penalty throw down third and 14 yeah you don't give yourself a chance you have a false start and then you have a delay of game and Ben Roethlisberger too good of a player and a veteran guy like that that to make that mistake you saw right there you talked earlier Kevin about the fact that they can't generates one of the glaring flaws with his defense right now for Cincinnati can't generate lead pressure with that front floor and that's why you see a more of the safety blitzes his linebackers particular late in the camp mental seminary 13 14 in at the 46 yard line of Cincinnati more at the side of Roethlisberger Miller was in that tough at the bottom of your screen [Music] [Applause] they're looking for award and the coverage was by Leon Hall so Roethlisberger who has thrown today eight at fifteen watch his team punt again it's a good job at the line of scrimmage by Leon Hall jamming Hines Ward disrupted him and this whole system is based on timing and rhythm in the past again you see Ben Roethlisberger there is expected is Ward to be the location he simply wasn't the time goes on Jo Chapman block on the broken arm J Davenport Warren the launched a 27 yard return it's a 51-yard punt the beauty by Berger penalty flag has been thrown Berger in that game against Jacksonville a couple Sundays ago averaged 49 yards against the Jaguars and he's been around taking the players of the injured Daniel Sepulveda who blew out a knee in pre-season so they got Berger 13 years on a Colorado and Ed Hochuli is our referee during the return illegal block in the back by the receiving team number 59 is half this is the goal Cincinnati keeps the ball first down so a penalty and it's right there as you can plainly see it's on Brandon at Johnson time up the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% on car insurance careerbuilder.com start building and by mcdonalds play Monopoly at McDonald's [Music] [Applause] after that Pittsburgh punt is Cincinnati with their third possession today three consecutive three outs as you can see from the first contender that played she's a fullback for post into that pool you know three-four defense for the Pittsburgh Steelers push Gonzaga on the move [Applause] Texas he's clogged up in the middle looks like hope along with some others on that defensive line Keisha was in there too making the stop failure coming up on the sprint halftime report joined JV Dan Shannon in the game for latest news scores highlights from New York the sprint halftime report coming up next they got to the nine on that play so it is second down and nine Benson by himself in the backfield two tight ends including Kelly and Coates outside acknowledged this is Chad Johnson having one of his worst seasons statistically it was knocked out of bounds on the play by Clark he's up to the 16 yard line he picks up six on the play our first trip to New York and JB Kevin and rich st. Louis shown a lot of fight with Jim has it at the helm Stephen Jackson second rushing touchdown of the day Rams on top of the Cowboys 21 second 21 7 that is in the second in San Diego leading Buffalo 7 3 and that one Ryan Lynn della Buffalo missed a 55 yard or let's take you back to Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon got a JD thank you third down and Cheer Nichols secondary now for the Pittsburgh Steelers here is Fitzpatrick good commentary [Music] and by pairs and throws it away they had Timmons the nickel linebacker going stride for stride with Kenny Watson here is another three announcement here come the boos cascading down on the windlass Bengals fourth consecutive green out well as you said 12 points just 18 yards you see them struggling there a little bit with his vision Kevin time of possession is going to be an issue that they have not enough possessions not enough with them they're up to 19 point eight for Drive that's the fewest and time to possessing the lowest in the AFC right now Larson to punt again Santonio Holmes a lot of times and just get inside Pittsburgh territory and out of bounds about the 47 48 yard line a 37 yard food there right up for funding by the five-year veteran Kyle Larson topless burgers got a touchdown pass and that's been it not only ball control for Pittsburgh look where they've started from the Cincinnati 30 the 44 yard line in their own territory now from the 48 on their last three possessions with a couple tight ends spade the Miller first down in ten that's Ward in motion Moors in the backfield good block by Kyle with carve-outs and yards Peko makes the stop on its a gain of six and he's down to the 46 yard line a thing I like about this Pittsburgh offense they lose their top two running backs and verse Jacksonville they were able to come out they threw it for 239 yards in the first half and so that tells me they had the ability to shift gears and not a lot of offenses could do then they just abuse areas there they have the flexibility because of all that Ben Roethlisberger can do at the line of scrimmage look here the other Titans last fall bankers back there with Paul something down in fourth on the secondary for the Cincinnati Bengals and it was Roethlisberger pulled over a season ago of 32 touchdown passes more good block by achieve and as he cut it was undercut by Jonathan Joseph the number one pick a couple of years ago it's a gain of two twenties down to the 44 yard line well this is the defense that was 27th of the year ago that's why both of the attention this offseason was focused on this defense they've brought in a new defensive coordinator and Mike Zimmer they go out and draft Keith Rivers in the first round they they signed Antoine odor from Tennessee and I really think they're getting better it's gonna be if it's a process like anything else it takes time these two meds into there he likes these young players have gotten better each and every timeout spankers comments or two time zones between remains in the down into no chances defensively for the Bengals play action and here's a pic pants on South can I read well you Jonathan Joseph two nice points on that drive Jonathan Joseph goes Trump it four years ago on a South Carolina he missed some time early in the year with a sprained ankle but back Hale and Hardy right now here's a three now for the Steelers they got a point and would it Mike Tomlin tell us about this Bengals defense they're taking care of the things that required no talent there flying around and running to the ball they're playing with a lot of effort and energy and I think you're starting to see that the tackle right there there's Berger and can up a little bit lame on that last punt and they had to take a look at him over on the trainer's table and back of the bench he panteth Chapman he's got one punt return touchdown in his career and this baby will end up in the end zone so out of the 20-yard line four consecutive free announced by Cincinnati they'll begin it at the 20 right here that punch sailed 45 yards we've got nine 40 in the half the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Cisco welcome to the human network and by Nissan who invites you to shift the way you move through the world Chris Henry becomes the third receiver on this fifth possession by Cincinnati from the 20 first down in ten Rinat moments ago by a six-foot Roethlisberger's to yard touchdown pass the only touchdown in the game on first and 10 here comes Fitzpatrick going deep looking for Henry knocked away by Taylor what a terrific defensive play Ike Taylor fourth round pip from Louisiana Lafayette a four-year starter with a terrific move against a much taller and angular Chris Henry second antenna look who jumps I mean who's being the more athletic player there I mean Chris chair Chris Henrik tell her Chris Henry I mean Chris Henry has to go up and get the ball that's highest point can't let Ike Taylor out jump you now Chapman has come in for Henry Benji Kelly is the backfield as a fullback second down and 10 Benson continues to be a mariner starting on close to the ineffective Chris Perry [Applause] they're to be among many to make the stop Timmons was in there as well with the stop it's a gain of two events in his after the 22 yard line well in case you haven't heard the news inside the NFL is now on Showtime join JB Phil Simms Warren Sapp and Cris Collinsworth for the best highlights insights and analysis inside the NFL only on Showtime Henry comes back in as one of three receivers for Fitzpatrick Shay Townsend is coming as the Nickelback Timmons remains third down and eight once an offensive blank on hearing of a curative picks it off and makes the play oh what terrific line backing work by the former Pro Bowler James foyer he took the block from Watson threw him aside throws him for a loss of two it's a set back to the 19 and they don't even block Timmons up top you see Ryan Fitzpatrick is the next best thing just detected the ball tries to get back to line of scrimmage you see James Barr you're back there's those schemes they do a good job crowding the line of scrimmage and finding those one-on-one matchups that they really could take advantage of marcin gets it away a fair part 35 jena flying by Santonio Holmes a record-setting wide receiver at Ohio State 45-yard punt and Roethlisberger will get it once again with his two yard touchdown pass the big play of the game well tomorrow on The Late Show Dave's got Jack Hanna Jessica Simpson and a top ten with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino don't miss the Late Show all this week on CBS Pittsburgh takes over at the 35 we've had only really two explosive plays a 29-yard kitchen won by war to fit a 2 yard catch by Holmes is on the first series of the game Washington is the third receiver here maura backfield no changes defensive game for the Cincinnati Bengals on first and 10 the block by starts the duck announce to bear Dexter Jackson a former Super Bowl where they get the hall not was Jackson on the play Jackson the faultless Super Bowl MVP for Tampa Bay gain of a yard 36 yard line who did the Buccaneers play and then in that Super Bowl back in the early part of this decade well the counseling I had over the years to get it it's gone second down and nine Miller is one of four receivers out there Moore is acting as a receiver as well today we say max is something that came in just a good job previewing it reading and understanding where there are terms that protection the four thoughts come out very quick into a nickel secondary here comes Roethlisberger his guys resume at about the 50 yard line that is Santonio Holmes and he Wiggles his way for a first down to the 49 yard line bogged down by n Duke way on a 16 yard catch who's Arnie had a 32 yard reception today nice play by home this makes a lot of sense because it forces the bangles to kind of show their hand you have five receivers out you're only going to keep five in the block and now if they choose to rush six then can really see that kick the ball out click on a hot throw and let some seems like Heinz would make the guy miss and pick up some big yards Washington bottom of your screen till the turns is the nickel back on first and 10 from the 49 yard line play-action with the big block on the play the heartbreak goes outside homes with the catch right in front of Jones and that is downs of the 33 yard line that's a pickup from 16 yards and this is what happens when you give a guy like Ben Roethlisberger plenty of time in the pocket of play-action the receiver actually slips and falls down Santonio Holmes on the sidelines then throws it down and away so he can make the catch on the ground great throw great accuracy by Ben Roethlisberger still the nickel secondary and Brandon Johnson continues to take the flow to the injured Keith Rivers the start is a first down Gilliam is one of the five receivers along with more for disposal Roethlisberger that's knocked down by frosty lucky this play by Rutger came off the edge players had some injury problems his first couple years here in Cincinnati he's out of USC knocks it down right there we just see Rucker at the top of your screen and they bring the linebacker inside so Mac stocks he winds up having to squeeze down and it leaves frosty rocker alone on the edge to knock that one down little clump there at the bottom of your screen with Miller Washington and Ward second down in ten he's been sick for a year they loved him that field is he'll find a secondary for Simpson a [Applause] this is wrapped up on the plain ice pursuit that's Paul who comes in and makes a stop it's a loss of four yards on the play and pushing him back to about the 37 yard line and this is good to see because I thought they didn't tackle as well last week talking about Cincinnati particularly on the perimeter the corners and safeties missed a good job here gang tackling getting a lot of hats to the ball typically on the perimeter can stop a lot of third down conversions this is where they have to be better they have not done a good job getting off the their data points concerning the most 50% of their opportunities her down in Fulton they need the toilet dream the black ball hunt with look at the time to laugh as building a vehicle action it's the tight end Heath Miller across the way at about the 32 yard line and all kinds of bodies strewn on the field well they had some great pressure provide on the place Sims that's the rookie a third-round pick out of Auburn came up the middle he missed some early action with the toe injury but last couple weeks they've got them in the rotation so another punting situation coming up for Mitch Berger Roethlisberger can't get the first n alula were too nice 16 yard completions to Holmes on that drive they still have to punt six plays and they'll send it away after that first drive dat Bengals defense has really buckle down and plays much better burger and gentlemen has returned every punt and taken every punt this season for Cincinnati fair catches at the 7-eleven 30 yard punt any fair caught one last against the Jets on the 4 yard line last week are they worried that there's going to be English on that ball and it could even be Han failed the ball down you got to take your chances all right coming up next on CBS great games including the Colts taking on the Packers Brett Favre and the Jets are out west and Oakland and Cleveland will take on Washington coming up next on CBS Chuck local listings for the game in your area from the yard line it will be first and 10 5 five consecutive renounce have seen that before and if I have it's gonna want Chapman is next to receive her first intent I really think drove the ball open this thing up a little bit on the area down Chad Johnson run on a bombs by Harrison up for the 14 yard line and a gain of six yards you know on paper in terms of the running game it's not really a good match at their 31st and rushing and they're gonna face this number two run defense in Pittsburgh and I really think you have to force yourself to be a little bit more aggressive in this game despite your limitations anybody get the losses shipped rolled the ball in the earlier down we need to take the fight to this Pittsburgh be fun second down and four here is Benson get on the back by Bobby Williams [Music] don't listen to the crowd the tackle is made by Persky that's the first fist down of the game that second employee picks up 6e they made the changes up to the 1800 on every day this think about the path Kevin we haven't heard the crowd all day that's a problem if there's Cincinnati you want to get this crowd involved in the game six thirds come in here they take the control of the game that gotten up ten nothing they've had the ball most of the first half and they've really taken the crowd right out of this game Morpheus Roy is coming as the left defensive end for the Steelers first down in ten her Springs Anna on the move coaching the backfield and a blanket probation many fines at Concord an intensive lose up to about the 24 23 yard line brought down by Ryan Clark it is a gain of six you get some good movement up front now you watch that particularly that left side that offensive line Whitworth and Jones are big guys and they have the ability to get some push this is good to see Cedric Benson getting lathered up a little bit getting him some work getting some carries and getting his confidence up [Applause] Kelly move an office for in banking on the fly second down and four rubber bands on the left defensive end go to the close of ellen smith take that back if they to the place of Keisha he was bucked in the play by Palomar who plays all over the field he picks up three on second down and four Larkin at the 27 yard line you talk about Troy Polamalu playing it at all different levels and he's all over the field and you know Dick LeBeau told us he's a coordinators dream I mean he can play down the line of scrimmage he can play on that second level and of course he's got great range on the back end in that secondary Henry is the third receiver Niki's and has come in on the defensive line Timmons is the nickel line backer to say times and as the nickel got me out warned when the shot gets that's ketchup [Applause] [Music] mr. husband the first round we would think this team is ahead from the first place dealers the end of the 32 an apipa 5 the interesting thing when we talked to TJ Hirshman SATA on friday he said when the ball comes out when when ryan fitzpatrick throws if you don't even see it he's only 6 foot 2 back there it's a lot different when Carson is in there you can actually see the flight of the ball but TJ who stands out a since week 3 32 receptions the most Nina fell he has been productive he's home and Smith banking on the defensive line first in town well the 32 - can use to flow the ball in the early downs against Pittsburgh people's notes is the pullback offering of walk-on Harrison gets dr. gets away there is a crowd brought down by accusal who has missed some time with the camp strain enacted the last three games seven yard pickup out to the 39 holding offense number 86 10-yard penalty repeat first down they're dialing up Harrison on the wing as they normally do and they're trying to get some body on him and watch this the tight end converted to a fullback trying to keep him away I'll keep in mind this is Harrison's second sack today he got one earlier on Reggie Kelly and of course he gets the holding penalty there with Daniel Coates I really think they're asking too much this is a mismatch when you put coats or Reggie Kelly on James Harrison you need those tackles those big guys that that really they live in that world of pass blocking to be able to handle that responsibilities other guys are too quick too powerful at the time to new tournament they've also done Timmons in first in 2004 his heat stroke by ya gotta kick just 16-yard pickup and it's out to the 38 yard line Chris Henry of course suspended for the first four games of the year trying to stay in the good graces with a terrific grab right here were at the two-minute warning with one 5/5 to play a man two-minute warning 38 yard line second down and four Henry just got a 16-yard pass across the middle and took a wicked hit from Ryan Clark we got the same towns and attendings in in the nipple defense and this is being run by Kenny Watson who weaves his way to the 43 Townsend on the stop still playing with kind of a bruised heel it's a gain of five he's got a first down to the 43 fining up again Watson remains Henry the third receiving first time in ten Henry on the side which is his second pass on this travnik patent makes the gram an 11-yard strike by a fitzpatrick taking the players of the injured carson palmer's of the pittsburgh 47 yard line and you're seeing Ryan Fitzpatrick played a lot more confidence right now I like his footwork he's trust in the protection he's sitting in there he's making good accurate throws this will be the first play the Bengals have runnin Steeler territory today still the nickel still three wide sitting into the side of Fitzpatrick on the 47 yard line first in Jennifer Polamalu a spin corkscrew lead with 12 yards to the 35 yard line he picks up a first down and a timeout taken by the Cincinnati Bengals who began this drive after eight Henry with a couple of nice catches Hirshman sada gets a first down right there coming up the Sprint halftime report which is being put together for you in our CBS Studios in New York featuring Jay be damned Shannon boomer and coach Bill Cowher highlights News scores and more that's coming up on the Sprint halftime report from New York once we conclude our first half here are the numbers on this particular drive for Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like a different player you know that sometimes when you're struggling just a simple completion to kind of get you started get to get you back in rhythm and I think we've seen that with them little better protection more time to sit in there and throw and it's making some good decisions they got Kirksey and Easton on the defensive line its first intent Henry is the extra receiver Watson is in the backfield [Music] equip me we got the match up here on any work done Timmons the linebacker it's an 18 watt paper that's a Cincinnati first down at the Pittsburgh 17 and this is what they haven't had a lot of production from their third receiver and you can see Chris Center he's taken advantage of the opportunity deejay who spins out of Chad Johnson on the outside lanes getting a lot of double coverage allows Chris Henry to work up on inside on the linebackers and safeties Henry comes out they that Chapman is a third receiver roxanna names in the backfield the nickel defense for Pittsburgh and wears anything inside two minutes is at the disposal of the replay official up here in the press box and so that's what has happened with 114 the play here in the first half the Bengals took over at their own eight with 524 left this is the 11th play of the drive coming up let's watch feet let's watch hands whoa I don't know I like he's got either long lanky guy looks like he had had control of that ball you what's up and plucks it out of the Year trying to pull it back in oh wait a second now oh I think maybe just because he is so angular that ball looked like it was loose but that's not one angle right right there you see they actually hits his thigh the ball was moving talk about getting another opportunity there's Chris Henry activated a couple weeks ago and started to feature him more in this offense and question not whether the ball is moving as he's coming a taxi right there it's out you can see it's out but he's got such it's a tip great grip flick he slides it's in a little bit of his left hand well I think that's the determination to figure out if he actually has a hand on the ball now there was an interesting call by Hockley in this crew a couple of Monday nights ago when the New Orleans Saints played the Minnesota Vikings and Reggie Bush had a very similar play hand his hand on the nose of the ball he had a facemask on the play which was not called they ruled it a fumble so if that is any bank rep to what this called could be this could be the same type of play in other words an incomplete pass because the ball is moving see that's just not Reggie Bush held it a couple Monday's ago not on the Louisiana Superdome oculi who is a Superbowl official referee and 32 in Super Bowl 38 I said to give the kids there is no conclusive proof that the boy left the receivers left hand there for the ruling in the field stands ask who's a completed cat's first down so a nice relaxing be reset to ten seconds ten seconds on the play clock so on this particular Drive Henry with caches of ten 18 and 16 yards 17 yard line it'll be first in ten play clock remembers at ten now so they have to get out of this huddle and get up there in a hurry and they use a given that opportunity gets set before they start the clock Chapman has taken the place of Henry on this first and ten they get started there Timmons remains to show times and remaining on that defense and Smith is coming on the defensive on Harris Fitzpatrick getting an outside cut by Jeff Johnson he is tripped up on the play by Taylor and thrown down for good measure by Polamalu he's certainly been a controversial figure over the last couple of weeks and nine yard gain now second down and one controversy because he has tried to stand up for his teammate Hines Ward saying that the fines on Ward of recent date have been unjustified Chris Perry is in the backfield as a quick dog so that's black Johnson shove out of bounds by Atilla once again of three and the best thing Ryan Fitzpatrick who's doing right now is he's getting the ball out quit they're still bringing pressure up the middle but he's not holding the BOA watch how quick it's come out it's making good decisions quick decisions and very accurate growth I think you got to keep in mind if you're Pittsburgh defensively Ryan Fitzpatrick very good form the ball down in the running losing this length it's something that they're very concerned about defensively Henry back in the game Terry at the sauna Fitzpatrick first and all to fine look the second time that Taylor has done that today get that right in front of the receiver Chad Johnson and knocked it away and the thing you know about Dick LeBeau he's gonna find out about this young quarterback early he'll probe and test him with different pressures to see if he's got answers those are some technical issues in Orchard Park New York supposed to be not seeing that game Buffalo leads it with under a minute to play in the first half 13 to 7 over the San Diego Chargers Fitzpatrick head hit the last feet was a second down and goal at the 5 same wide receiver alignment the block by Andres to the endzone touchdown it's Chad Jackson that's a five yard touchdown pass in the second touchdown reception this season for Chad Johnson well I tell you what that was a phenomenal job by Ryan Fitzpatrick just watch him sit in ur sit sit sit trust the protection he knows he's going to get hit and he puts the ball up there for only Chad Johnson to make the kids five consecutive Pro Bowls for Johnson who asked to be traded this past off season he's had statistically one of his most disappointing seasons is we have to compare if he's been up and about so 36 seconds to play in the half and winless Cincinnati has come to within three of first place Pittsburgh Steelers coming in at four and wani Fitzpatrick with his second touchdown pass this season's anything goes not going down easy they're gonna hang in there the defense has played better in the second quarter they've given their their outfits some field position and Ryan Fitzpatrick of his Bengals offense really took advantage of it this Patrick we told you before was drafted by st. Louis has been the league a handful of years and he graduated from Harvard where he was Fitzpatrick the Ivy League Player of the Year and Fitzpatrick who then went on to marry one of the supreme soccer players in women's soccer in the Ivy League his wife was an all-america soccer player and so they take that to st. Louis now he's traded to Cincinnati before the beginning of last season as you take a look at that halftime score Buffalo in San Diego and the builds on top of the San Diego Chargers so and what it might have a little tell us he said he's got a play better Ryan Fitzpatrick but we have to play better around and I think you're salt on that drive the offensive line did a better job they've got Cedric Benson go a little bit of course TJ a Chad and Chris Henry over some feed catches on that drive Henry was terrific with caches of 1816 and ten yards on that drive who's the subsequent kicked off by Dave Rayner and Azure Davenport from the three yard line and an appointment stayed well then it takes the tongue to bring him down and cross the way he was hit and about the 23 yard line and whacked by David Jones on a 20-yard return that touchdown drive you just saw was the longest touchdown drive for Cincinnati since 2006 began on their eighth five yard touchdown pass to Chad Johnson they needed that time of possession their defense had been out there most of the first half so they put a good wall drive to give their defense a chance to get their legs back a little bit look they're just going to run out the clock with 30 seconds to play Cincinnati does have two timeouts and Pittsburgh and one an office river to a nice a waffle scooter got things off in a big way with the 2-yard touchdown pass to melindam or the well den were caught that on that drive there was a 29 yard catch and run by warden a 30 yard catch by Holmes but since that time they have struggled last three possessions up and sold that kneel down where punt three plays punch six plays cut his Carson Palmer walks off the field with this Patrick after watching them throw a five yard touchdown pass to Chad Johnson the Bengals have made it an interesting game at halftime you're watching the NFL on CBS [Music] each quarterback has thrown a touchdown pass today here at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio with the reminder that this game is brought to you in high definition here on CBS which cannon Kevin Harlan that's what kind of let Cincinnati hang around there for a while yeah that's the problem they got up to a 10 nothing later in the first quarter you thought this game might get out of hand but then all the sudden Cincinnati's defense began to turn things around a little bit they played better and Brian Fitzpatrick of this offense got things going on that last Drive to kind of finish off the first half and that was really key and I felt like his pitch really started to pick up with that throw right there across the middle a good throw to Chris Henry he got him involved but his confidence in the pocket he sat in there he trusts the protection he made some good accurate throws and you look at the first half numbers I mean the beginning there it was one-sided but the Bengals they hung in there they turned around and they made something happen at the end of the first half Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off with chip free to already have a field goal today from 21 yards away on their third possession deep at the is Andre Caldwell University deployed is all time we see them later he's been inactive for five weeks but he's playing today this is called well there's in the players in Japan but it runs into his own blocker Petco and then it's brought down titled Carter's over there Lawrence Timmons is over there it's an 18-yard and return think about the confidence now at this young Ryan Fitzpatrick oh yeah that's what you need and I think the other thing is is we talked about being aggressive I hope they continue to be aggressive in the second half let this guy play well I'm sure I'll throw it around a little bit particularly on those early downs think about we're all the big plays have gone this used to be a big play football team and a lot of them came off to play accident when you're not putting the ball it's difficult to generate out of big plays down the field off the play action game bouncing in the backfield with coaches the fullback in motion as those comes out to go outside quickly to teach Arizona a favor Ramazan team Oh maybe two on the point up to the 22 yard line as you take a look at the first half possessions of the Bengals it was ugly until so that last one there 14 plays 92 yards they were efficient they spread the ball around I felt like they picked up the pace the tempo a little bit they're in and out of the huddle quicker and they're getting the last few energy given Ryan Fitzpatrick some time so Kidani been sitting out in the backfield that's the timing coach /sha back in motion here comes Ben nice tackle inside as he works his way to about the 24 yard line hit by Chris Hope taking the place of Casey Hampton it's a gain of the yard he's up to the 23 yard line they have started the third quarter the Chargers ant the ball the trailing 13 7 in Orchard Park New York but 12 minutes to play in the third quarter power issues their technical problems within the state of third down and 7 that they banished tons of guns in the game [Applause] Chaplin is receivers to this gala with this Patrick [Applause] Henson picked up 11 on 3rd down and 7 hands of bingo first down and this was one of the concerns when you pressure when you bring the Blitz you have to have someone peel off they don't do a very good job of it here and Ryan Fitzpatrick senses the pressure steps up and this is what he can do this is reality can really hurt you with his legs pretty good athlete back there two tight ends first intent that's an example take the separate [Applause] the net power goes fitzpatrick at about the 36 yard line on a gain of about three seed good look there Chris hole can fill in for the injured Kacey Hampton and it really starts up front with this look with a 34 defense you need a great nose tackle someone who can hold up in the running game can kind of anchor that front and provide some push and collapse that pocket to get both for that not only with Chris Hogue but Casey Hampton as well when they get him back next week nickel defense for the Steelers second down and seven they emptied about fountain in motion goes Benson he was grabbed on the play by Lawrence chillings the number one pick a year ago out of Florida State on a gain of five he's up to the 41 yard line well we talked about trusting the protection when you broke down the film last week you looked at Brian Fitzpatrick one of the problems is he was quick pretty good protection here the knee that you needed to step up inside and set his feet and deliver the football to oftentimes he was flushed he got out to his right and tried has some vision and that really hurt him today you're seeing a better job sitting in there trusting the potentially making good accurate throw third down [Music] he's sent back in about the 27 yard line Harrison had a first-half set he has a second he throws him for a 13-yard loss to the 28 and this is what you have to realize this isn't the Ivy League anymore I mean these guys are phenomenally good athletes and they can tackle and they're quick they get upfield and James Harrison is not going to miss too many quarterbacks like that it got to throw the ball away second team foul ball all throwing a 12 over season ago for the first time in distance Fisher started his Santonio Holmes on the punt by Larson 39-yard punt st. Louis makes the temple 11 yard return here comes big van in Pittsburgh six ply is fun five Cincinnati to start the second half and here's the first second half possession by Roethlisberger he's got that third receiver Washington out there from the 45 Nicoll secondary one day more he got fired it gets a great day for your Blackfoot Washington Florida they block ghrelin Pittsburgh run out of bounds across the way by Jones a 24 yard scamper they'll spot him at the 31 yard line and you just watched a missed tackle in do clay and vise chopped I'm oily more kicking out of it but the perimeter players look at the block the wide receivers block here in the running game I mean you can't play here in Pittsburgh if you don't block the dilemma game both these guys Santonio Holmes times would mate wash them they all just a great job of it nickel remains they wanted arrived receivers as Ismail that's 1st and 10 from the 39 but with the snap was grabbed by Dexter Jackson at the 26-yard line with a quick pickup of five for the welding or five years on a two-lane again they're gonna call plays here in a little sugar huddle at the line of scrimmage makes it real difficult the defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to die out first of all not to make an exception to she's the other thing is it's it difficult for him to dial up blitzes second down and five the defense behind Cincinnati to the bottom of your screen Ward is in a slump more great Roth IRAs people to the Run is down to the 20-yard line tackle was made by gathers on a gain of five Darnell Stapleton shoving people out of the way with a good move right there at that right guard position and the Steelers have done a good job on first down and kids some options on second and five you have some options you can either run the ball to play action some quick free step it really gives Bruce Arians the offensive coordinator a lot of choices when he looks down in this place sheet now the first down did more on that Ronnie's back there by himself first and 10 from the 20 yard line of Cincinnati Pittsburgh first something out possession [Applause] living outside Joanie's was covering on the play and the pressure came up the middle front end waa I'll tell Roethlisberger gets hit about as much as any quarterback in the NFL well that's part of the problem right now he had 19 SEC's through five games it's too many and it's a combination of things a better play along the offensive line they've had some injuries that they're running back as well as a quarterback really who has a tendency sometimes to hold the football five defensive backs up and down chong'er sex to do by the way the Lincoln's [Applause] too far Ben Roethlisberger get out - okay [Applause] [Music] terrific blocker and player AECC all-time tied in record holder seven yard gain and when I first saw this graphic I was shocked I mean you look at that a hundred and eleven times and that's the most since 2006 and you look at Carson Palmer there and and what happens is the hits the Harry's and the stacks begin to take their toll on quarterbacks still the five minute secondary third down and three more bonds talking about fear Washington is no bomb the new strain and got communication the cloud bills will give an issue now hearing what he's saying we see the poll talk here is more about by Stapleton help thanks people to runner on [Applause] then second touchdown turn 13 yards Darnell Stapleton with a terrific walk on the edge opens the door for more and what she had to do is you have to be able to contain Antwon Odom he has to get outside he can't let that rug get outside and he has to force it back up inside where he has help from the linebackers as well as the safeties well Des Moines with his first touchdown run of the season two point boundary makes it 17 to 7 earlier on that drive more and a 24-yard run with another block by Stapleton here he gets the edge closes it up opens it up for more and he's in for six the NFL on C pittsburg on their first second-half possession showing Cincinnati who's in first place by two games in this AFC North a 13-yard touchdown run by mo weld a more also a 24-yard run on that drive here is Reed to kick off to Caldwell one of the things which has improved for the Steelers this year have been their coverage two units on both punts and kickoffs this season well they're talking about being sound and all three phases of the game they've always been very good in the kicking game the three with the bootlegger from the six walk back good lace Madison's animals they're clogged and up Tyrone Carter and William Dean were in there too a 36-yard returned and that balls out to the 43 yard line great beginning field position for the Cincinnati Bengals as you take a look at that scoring drive some the 43 yard line first in 10 most beginning field position Kelly is wide at the bottom of the screen he is retired in incident in that field coach LeBlanc is above Bobby Williams outside Cedric Benson got away from Polamalu along with James philia it's a kitchen on a tent on the very close to a first down yardage on the play he's to the 47 yard line it looks like he may have a little simple throw but a nice job by Cedric Benson setting up the button make a nice cutback inside and getting North and South Benson was the number four overall picked a handful of years ago after winning the Doak Walker Award down at the University of Texas and he is a record setter and a nice addition he was just signed it's interesting to watch how these running backs have come and gone they had Johnson who was let go in the preseason they settled for Perry who had not played last year or not until long sick because of a dislocated ankle he had an average of 2.6 to carry then they signed Benson off the street he comes in now he starts today I think it speaks volumes of really where they are as an offense I mean you just signed a guy a couple weeks ago now he's coming in he's being your featured bag and it tells you a little bit the problems that they've had all Finchley in terms of running the ball with any type of consistency now two tight ends there at the top here screen they did get the first down at the 47 yard line of the Pittsburgh spirits Benson your names dive inside Harrison makes the tackle gain of five to the Pittsburgh Steeler 42-yard ones that got back to basics and it all starts in the running game and that's what they need they need it particularly with the young quarterback and Cedric Benson is a guy that they feel could be a little bit like Rudi Johnson a powerful runner and downhill run a critical guy and that's what they've been missing here the first five or six weeks of the season nabob breath Kowski told us we've gotten back to basics this week they spent most of Monday self scouting and make a goal through the cut-ups and they've scaled down the plan this week and to get more reps that's what they felt they needed particularly with a new back like Cedric Benson Ryan Fitzpatrick they need reps in fact to have new and I watched on Fridays then running routes versus air something that you normally would see a team do it early believe thirds came out with an injury second down and five Fitzpatrick at the player to the [Music] research at Johnson & Clark went flying over him boy will you have this wide open you have to get him I mean this is one to look at in the film tomorrow make them sick good protection look at look at this whole nice route nice good good flat angle coming out of the break and you could just see the frustration by Chad Johnson to make matters worse get some need of the head okay they're brought in to shave Townsend they have also brought in William game Timmons is not inners that nicka linebacker third down and five hangers one of the four receivers box at the side of the court it's bouncing guns of an escape artist there's the conscious world takes it down to the country [Applause] catch and run by the Pro Bowl on TJ - shot on first and 10 Cincinnati and the difference has been they've had success on the early downs third and fourth third and fives you could convert them shorter routes the ball comes out quick and now you get a guy like TJ huge lazada who've athletic he's very good in the open field but could make people miss back to the base defense for the Pittsburgh Steelers first down and ten from the Steeler 23 we'll walk through [Music] [Applause] Patman the game to the sixteen seven yard pickup Johnson has caught a touchdown pass today for Cincinnati or the quick game has really been good for them now the ball is coming out quick three step 5 step throws one hitch and the ball is coming out and that's frustrating this Pittsburgh defense they can't get home they can't get the pressures home to only Fitzpatrick two times y is now the second tight end with coach injured second down in the corner laughter Benson Tigers lay near the 15-yard line Dean of a body yarn so bring him down third down and about two now like that has some problems off the field and trying not only to get his football life is Cedric Benson back on track but is but his personal intention well you know what you have to realize this is an opportunity and you can't you can't waste the opportunity the great experience that a privilege it is to play the National Football League so down and tear up sit in the backfield that's the receiver's Chapman Timmons ISM is the nickel linebacker sittings notes the tent it'll be close to a first down in a gain of a yard probably to the 14 yard line and maybe even a yarn shop so now an interesting decision coming up for Marvin Lewis his team is winless we're late in the third he's gonna be faced with fourth down looks like about a yard only your own six you got to go for it you know it's interesting anytime you're around the Bengals facility all the players speak so highly of Katie Watson I've never talked in to Carson Palmer they like Kenny Watson surprised he hasn't gotten more opportunities in this offense every time he's had a chance to play he's done pretty well Nellie had a career year dan Watson of season ago had a team-high seven rushing touchdowns and they're just inches short your guess is but mine that they're gonna go for it and here comes the offense Benson will come out there they'll bring out Daniel Coates who is again shaken off the injury he'll come back into the game what's what's a good call here Richard you know what I think you get it you cut down the splits you talk to that outfit the line up front you say listen we're gonna run the ball right downhill we're gonna get Daniel Coates to lead the way I'm gonna hand the ball to Cedric Benson at our best short guards run mano-a-mano right here Benson is in coats will be the lead man 34 defense by the Pittsburgh Steelers fourth and a short one with Kelly emotion the quarterback keeper by Fitzpatrick and leaves for the officials were running they got the first down to the 13 yard line this progress was adopted they're going to spot it is a first down they snuck it up he could do that DNA quarterback keeper last week against the Jets in the Meadowlands for a touchdown like Ryan Fitzpatrick he's a tough guy he's a smart player you could just tell we visited with him on Friday he was gaining confidence we're really putting a bad situation at first game he didn't really know he's gonna start until Friday but he's gotten better each and every time now two tight ends ninth play of the drive first in tons on the club then to his head outside the door this is Chad Johnson undercut by McFadden he's near the five are come out of the six and he picks up six yards and what's your scene you're seeing Brian McFadden as well as I tell they're playing I look how far off they are in coverage I mean that is far because they are concerned with the speed of TJ host Posada and Chad Johnson they don't want to get beat bill to keep everything in front of it it's a lot of opportunities to throw that ball underneath a poor assumption on this drive by John Johnson 1 of 7 yards right there at six yards third make it second down in the short for from a 6 it's patrocle roll [Applause] just shut the door there was no place to go effective maca woodenly they had foot loss of free foreplay call and he is back to the ate a little quick there it looks like there was a little bit of confusion with the fake regardless net that's going to happen with a new back Cedric Benson but he got to trust it it might have been an opportunity to back in the end zone worst-case scenario you throw it away Henry has hit one of three Cincinnati receivers in the backfield is Kenny Watson the same times in his vehicle back third down and five for Cincinnati clearances the nipple comparison there's the past look at the Watson covered by the linebacker tendons so it's fourth down they'll have to settle for three in the Pittsburgh Steeler defense does a pretty good job keeping him out don't break when we rushed for their drop seven and coverage Mike Tom on there and they're very eat you can see a little bit of Mike Tomlin's influence particularly in the red zone they mixed in some of that too deep Tampa coverage and this rushing for drop in seven in coverage there's Dave Rayner taking the place of the injured Shayne Graham this is a 26-yard field goal trial holding the player Russian and he drills it seven-point game 43 yard kickoff return by Caldwell 19 yard catch by TJ hush pensado than the subsequent field over it is a beautiful day in Cincinnati gorgeous Brown Stadium with 1710 ballgame a field goal moments ago by Dave Greiner at 26 yards camping at 12 play drive just under six minutes Luke plays on that drive the rookie carlo at that 43 yard kickoff return really eaves things and gave them more options in office [Applause] so now Pittsburgh who have scored in their own second half drive on a 13-yard touchdown run by Manuel day more will have Najeh Davenport back at the goal one wonder well he bores but nice to have you know you think about the injury that Rashard Mendenhall really parked not available for all team or has steps in their last couple weeks and played at a very high level and the booty has great hand cane in his kickoffs unity online this is Devon thing [Music] brings him across the lake I LeSabre played the Canadian Football League at 27 yard return he's out to the 28 another look at Ben Roethlisberger to 31 of the third the NFL on CBS is sponsored

Lyndon Johnson and Sims the working that's the second time today's Cincinnati's defense has stuffed the Steelers on third and one they got a punt and keep in mind now Pittsburgh without the full-back Gary Davis without Willie Parker that's really where it shows up sometimes short yardage and goal line situations bring out here is the profile bourbon all the ones came on no flag is the Puntland years Chapman the other end Warren got em along with Spieth and Harrison 36-yard punt 32 seconds in the third Cincinnati will get it down by 7 the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines low

Pittsburgh punt tenens out gamesdonequick coffee and they've also got to shave towns as the fifth dB Fitzpatrick Oh get stuck by Harrison almost kicked off by Timmons what an active defense of these Pittsburgh Steelers it'll be second down in general they were James Harrison as a problem he's a problem for this football team right now you got to be firm you watch the bottom screen the left tackle Levi Jones you get to be more aggressive when he jumps up like that I hate to say it she had to go in there at his ribs you got to get get his hands down so the guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick can have a lane to kick it wide no changes as you see the same number of yards between Roethlisberger and Fitzpatrick second down and 10 Timmy's there's a little block there by Kelly and he gets out until the 34 yard line and Clark was also there to meet him Dean of seven yards on the play may do it for this third quarter it'll be third and three when we come back 13 yard touchdown run in this third quarter by an alum day by Memorial Day more and then there's a 26-yard field goal moments ago by the field goal kicker Rayner back into this you're watching the NFL on CBS he start the fourth quarter with the 33 from the 33 yard line not only is the angular tight-end bottom of his spring motion assistance on a nickel defense Watson with the block foot at the catch made by husband's honor should have the first down a gain of five on the play hit by Ferrier hit by Harrison gain of five - with a 38 in a sense e first down well the Bengals have had six third down situations here in the second half all third and five or less now they're converting right now about 35% of the third down situations but when you're third and 5 or less that number jumps up to about 55% chapman is a third receiver 1st and 10 from the 38 Polamalu play deep safety here outside [Applause] and fighting through all that debris was Ferrier on a gain of three the tackle at the forty back to JB in New York Kevin and rich what has gotten into st. Louis what elixir has Jim hasn't used this 56 yard run to pay dirt by Steven Jackson his third touchdown of the day 16 carries 117 yards the Rams had six and two points coming into today they've got 31 today 31 seven Kevin and Rich Jackson held out most to camp and boy he's having a terrific resurgence here in middle of the season I'll say what's got into them people playing for the jobs up there and st. Louis good point second down and seven five defensive backs out there for the Pittsburgh Steelers next back - turns out up close to a first down in his went by Timmons and held on the play by failures they're gonna give him the first down it's a gain of seven and they'll stop the ball at the 48 so the short passing that ball coming out very very quick and that makes it very difficult for Dick LeBeau to bring those the Blitz zones so many than the dials up because you can in the fall is coming out quick three five-step throws I think it's right now it's frustrating this Pittsburgh defense turski and Eason on the defensive line for Pittsburgh its first and ten for Cincinnati at the 48 then sit in the back feel the box by Levi Fitzpatrick winding the fingertips up chad johnson away stride first drive with ID taylor just that close taylor they've been going at em a lot today and he's had a fine game johnson had a touchdown reception earlier in the game when he beat McFadden but just watch the last five yards of that I mean it's pretty good coverage the last five yards you can see Chad Johnston begin to pull away from Mike Taylor and a phenomenal effort watch him reach out stretch out and try and make this catch I mean just a little bit and took a little more off of that thrown might ask or Henry as soon as a third receiver second down in ten to Shea Townsend and the defensive backfield mrs. Benson like my dad chef there's a black to buy Andrews Vincente methane Punjagutta 15 yards he's down to the 37 yard line that's a first down I'll say what I think he's hurt you just watch this just watch this hit they generated hicpac need knock has held the braid off that is the longest run against that Pittsburgh defense this season 15 yards Polamalu will go catch his breath and there is a Steeler down at the 47 yard line it is Brian McFadden injury timeout of the clock at 12:40 so lamahieu will be on the sidelines for this plate fo corner takes his place Tyrone Carter is playing that safety McFadden is out to show Townsend plays his position the quarterback base defense for Pittsburgh it is first and ten from the thirty second [Applause] condensable by chris herren coverage by Ryan Clark 2nd down and 10 we haven't seen much of Perry today he had been the starter in the backfield up until this afternoon this is not something you see very often I mean usually Troy Polamalu is the one delivering the shots and he's really on the receiving into that one by Cedric Benson I mean that that knocked him silly that's a good job by the Bengals that last play they got two people out of the secondary on the sidelines we cannot parole and kind of Peck Diaz in as the nickel backs up and down and 10 from the 37 [Applause] was in the day that's a handout that Benson was grabbed by Timmons and the deans of the thirty-seventh about a half yard gain let's go to the orc and JB Kevin and rich after blowing last week's game to the Falcons Chicago playing inspire football here Borden

Thank You JV third down and ten nickel back field day is the nickel at Stanford hit and deveined brought down by tenants fairly eventful as well back to the 43 yard line and not come out of field goal range it's a loss of six on the play Timmons with his second sack of the season and this is what makes this tree force so effective he get a guy like Timmons one-on-one with the back like Kenny Watson we saw earlier we're getting the the outside linebackers matched up in space against guys like Coates and Kenny Watson they're gonna win that battle fine cents today now by the Pittsburgh Steelers Lifeson will pick it and it's smelled a more back at the 7 yard line he was back there to get it and knock Santonio Holmes 36-yard punt where the fourth quarter the NFL on CBS is sponsored by

nice job setting the point and then getting back up on the second level opening up a big gas from Willie Morel 16 carries and 98 yards and that touchdown 1st down and 10 [Applause] to toenails

worn atop his screen still the two tight ends we're the fronton abundant life here comes up this river more with the block working for hines ward the coverage on the play by Jonathan Joseph Kevin as you and I talked during the break I really think in order to win this game Cincinnati is going to have to store either on defense or in the kicking game and right there you're seeing good coverage and this defense we talked about Ryan Fitzpatrick playing with more confidence I see this defense playing with more confidence here in the second half six defensive backs Lynch and wipe the safeties Joseph and Jones out there third and seven [Applause] [Music] in his hand Washington is the third receiver for office burger the Blitz is on the first down spinning his way to the 45-yard line a 17-yard pickup on 37 Marvin white working on him on the side for the Bengals a big-time throw by Pitt Roethlisberger you're not lying with a big-time throw a perfect throw and a great cats get it down here that's pretty good coverage by Jonathan Joseph but Roethlisberger put it the only place he could blow it away outside using the boundary good throw by Ben Roethlisberger on this Drive Moore is run 416 Holmes caught one right there for 17 first down and 10 from a 45 for the Pittsburgh Steelers to tights atop his screen for Roethlisberger of Miami of Ohio [Applause] Con Ed Johnson is there and reserved Jenny out of the Canadian Football League with the stop that's a gain of four he pushes a pile to the 49 let's go to JB in our CBS Studios all right Kevin and rich nope I'll push here as Kerry Collins hands off the lyndale white through the whole bar big fella 18 yards of pay dirt third touchdown run of the day any of the season Titans of rush booked 254 yards it's 27 nothing they're spanking Kansas City back to Kevin and rich that was a gamer Brodie coil is going to start a quarterback right a thousand-yard gainer a year ago for Tennessee and that run defense a proudly Kansas City we saw the Raiders put 300 on the week two second down and five play-action by Roethlisberger [Music] touchdown pass for the second consecutive game 50 yards strike by Roethlisberger up career long catch for the touchdown for Nate the Green Washington he caught a 48-yard touchdown pass two weeks ago against the Jacksonville Jaguars look who he went up against you see the safety taking a peek and they get the one-on-one coverage and he's going after Jeffrey Pope a player that they just brought up this week and that's what you want to do you want to find the mismatches in the secondary get a veteran player like Nate Washington going against a guy like Jeffrey Pope Washington with his second touchdown reception of the season heroes the read extra point 24:10 be 4 & 1 Steelers great drive 16 yard run by Moore 17 yard pass to Holmes at a 50-yard throw a touchdown pass by Roethlisberger probably about 7,000 Pittsburgh Steeler fans in this building today in this capacity crowd watching their beloved Roethlisberger and Steelers lead Cincinnati Washington just caught a 50-yard touchdown reception Roethlisberger with two touchdown passes today ground a more has had a touchdown on the ground and through the air and a new return managed to roam six and he is a rookie out of Coastal Carolina [Applause] Madison is gonna make the step along with Russell deserve running back Russell 8-yard return then you go back and look they're gonna have a Hines Ward it's going to go to the post and Washington is gonna go back over the top the guys are trying to go after is in Duke way right there he's got to make a decision what he has to do though is stay deep as the deepest and he winds up jump in the first route and allowing Nate Washington to go back on the outside to people poke the corner is gonna do a better job and in Duke boy he has to pass that one off to the corner on the other side and help out on the post over the top okay McFadden is still not in they've got the shape Townsend taking his place that gone to a nickel Gaines the nipple and Polamalu was not alone take his place cut the pass intended for chant Johnson gay was in the vicinity it's an incomplete pass you want to thank the ventline blade for providing aerial coverage of the Steelers and Bengals today look for the MetLife blip still be one two and three when they pass through a town near you so we've not got word of Polamalu's health nor bryant McFadden's they're still not in there yet the Nicholas secondary in a second down and 10 from the 19 sit in the backfield tell her that there's the lead womp convention wrapped up and walk down you said it before they didn't know answer for Harrison today well they don't even welcome there and that's the problem you turn a guy like this who turned a pro ballplayer like this loose on the edge just watch right the bottom of your screen there they don't even block them and then the fullback fullback looks like he turns that late Reggie Kelly was lined up in the full-back position in the backfield and he doesn't block him so it's a loss of two it's back to the 17 yard line still the five defensive backs out there for the Pittsburgh Steelers three receivers there's a black/white those toons Timmins came flying through Watson could not control him with the block that is the sixth set today by Pittsburgh that is a season-high now beginning to grab the Cincinnati throat and squeeze and looking to stroll down to the ground this has been a problem all that we talked about it on the first series of the game you can't expect these backs to be able to block these line back if you have to help out you have to turn and slide the line and give him some help wires in the punt then San Antonio Holmes's back there at the 50 yard line for the Pittsburgh Steelers dancing his way of getting by Madison cooking around [Music] and brought down by Jeffrey Pope he was the guy just beating on a long touchdown pass to Nate Washington 40-yard punt 24 10 Pittsburgh the NFL on CBS is sponsored by the Home Depot the official home improvement sponsor of the NFL and by subway home of the famous always made fresh five-dollar footlong subway eat fresh three nowt for the Cincinnati Bengals 48 yard line first in 10-4 Roethlisberger the fake two more look at the great play fake and now been going for the jugular look at the Hines Ward there's a flag on the play and the coverage on the play was by Jonathan Joseph going up against one of the great receivers in the NFL right now Hines Ward a four-time Pro Bowler one of the best we've ever seen certainly the best statistically to Pittsburgh Steve Finch number 22 balls placed at the spot of the foul first down this is the thing I like about Bruce Arians their offensive coordinator and not only that but ben roethlisberger I mean they continue to attack you and go after you and they had the ability to do that now because of a personnel that they have offensively so a 38 yard penalty brings the Steelers down to the 14 yard line where they've got it first in tenth McHugh is in the backfield there are two tight ends Smith and Miller on the line the second day for Brandon Johnson brings hit my spurts down to the eight on a six yard run right between the tackles now we told you that Polamalu was out he's on his black bear right there may be on the phone to Theodora or whoever baby's families and I'm okay ask me a couple questions questionable return for Polamalu you can see that much guys on the phone on their personal phones ever seen it's modern technology right there and sure it's a trainers phone second down and four from the eat one is the bottle sorry and the handoff goes camellias down by the honey jars they're leading tempura the gameís to the one another six yard back-to-back six yard runs Bimal welding more who today a hundred and eighteen yards on the heels of a 99 yard performance and 17 carries two weeks ago in Jacksonville I tell you what there hasn't been any drop-off at all in terms of the production from the running game and Wally Morey he's kind of a little big man he's only five 11209 but I'll tell you what he packs a big punch and he's ran very hard today that's his fifth 100-yard game two tight ends first and goal at the two those emotions inside his state here comes more hit by Donnie Jones and he bounces and pedals into the end zone for his touchdown today what a great free agent pickup typical of the Steelers in the offseason he knew Tomlin from Minnesota so V familiarity was there any signs as a free edge of this past offseason from the beginners an initial contact he keeps those legs churning and finds a way to fall forward for the score you're right Mike Tomlin told us I knew all about this guy from my time in Minnesota I felt he could help us as a third down back but he's been more than that today they've blown it open and the Steelers are going to win their 8th consecutive game in Cincinnati [Applause] against the bindles with the read extra point so more has had one of those terrific days and remember he's the third different starting running back that Mike Tomlin has had to employ they began with Parker he got injured then they went to Rashard Mendenhall and he broke his shoulder so the third different Bank was more welding more who has come in and been an incredible additions when you look at the longest active road win streaks I mean they Cincinnati has lost seven straight home games to Pittsburgh now by a combined score of 175 to 91 and they've been out rushed in those games by 725 yards that's really why the rivalry has been so one-sided if you can't run the ball and you can't stop the run it's very hard to be successful in this league Steelers in first place in the AFC North find two games they've won two consecutive games coming into this afternoon Road record of two and one winless Cincinnati and Owens six soon to be it appears or one seven that is a toughie lie I didn't notice though for the Bengals we were practice on Friday and around the team I didn't notice anybody hang in their head any kind of a downcast feel obviously difficult but we didn't notice anything out with them well you know the effort was certainly there today and it's just that the mistakes I mean whether it's a wrong run fit whether it's a drop ball it's just making a poor decision just not good enough now to overcome all the penalties and mistakes they've made look thumbs coach to Tony another grandpa Carter Tyrone Carter of the University of Minnesota 18-yard returned 510 to play in this game then set your fantasy league lineup without watching fantasy football today live every Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time only on CBS sports.com rich and on all the other CBS television crews file reports from the broadcast booth on video that you'll watch on your laptop on your desktop giving you the latest in jury information and updates from the game that we are at that Center it is a first in 10 from the 43 yard line for Ryan Fitzpatrick this lady Caesar is Henry he did support the Watson that goes outside that stop by Chad Johnson is working on a tailor across the way at about the 47 it's incomplete and it'll be second down and ten and Chad Johnson and a touchdown reception earlier in the game the lack of concentration there I mean that one hit some rate in the chest complained about not getting the ball and then you put it in the ground you have your opportunities second down and ten then are the bottom of your screen still no McFadden who's got an arm injury probably will not return we're told you about polo Molly's out of the game and flutter taking his place at the content this is a teacher husband son wants the ball it's picked up on and call it an incomplete pass Nikki sand vacuumed it in and looked like he may go the distance but it was a drop pass by the Pro Bowler Houshmandzadeh we could Jeff sitting in there and you know talk about the route the rough start that Ryan Fitzpatrick had the five three and outs but since then I mean honestly he's played very well and you saw a comparison earlier that the numbers of his versus Roethlisberger have been pretty close and then they have to build a football team around him everybody must play better turn it down and turn against the neck - Thunder man pittsburgh's down I think it was the more noodly who got the ball the guy that's replacing Clarke Higgins who left before the season that could be the first turnover of the game they have indeed ruled it - the Pittsburgh Steelers and Woodling is at a terrific game had a fumble recovery against Baltimore that he returned for a touchdown as a fumble recovery here and you see McFadden leading the field with it iced up right on when we talked about ball security how important that was going to be and the ability to step up in the pocket and you're talking about two linebackers Woodley in Harrison that have combined for 12 sacks coming into today's game the other thing we said you can't hold the ball it's got to come out quick he did a much better job of that you see right there these two guys caused havoc and opponents back there's a quarterback you have to know that coming in the ball must come out blue quarterback is piling left which he is in the game the work with a couple of tight ends here and the cure is the foe back from the 34 first and 10 Russell is the new running back three touchdowns today left which oh there's a good hit by Sims off that defensive line a loss of three and it's back to the 37 yard line Byron Leftwich who was signed August 10th longtime Jacksonville Jaguar we played for years he played for Atlanta we was released in February of OE and signed here in fact they had a tryout when Charlie Batch went down the backup Roethlisberger it was Dante Culpepper in left which and they kept front left which second out of 13 from the 37 to tights and Russell remains in the game [Applause] which passes park by washing didn't have the 50-yard touchdown reception moments ago he's brought down on the play by Jonathan Joseph it's a gain of seven is down to the 30-yard line there's a new look to this team now had left which in their left yeah that's that that's the advantage when you have a lead like this and the fourth quarter you get a chance to rest some of your players and not only that you get a chance for a guy like buyer and left which to come in and get some rest somewhere down the line you might need a player like Byron Leftwich during a game in the fourth quarter Jeremy Park can switch to five now playing the right tactic for Cole on third down and six left which got me to passing - Swede Clips the ball he had just checked in the game his first offensive snap or they call it a catch let's see yep they call it a catch for Swede who is their second round draft choice of rookie out of Texas number six all-time in long horn receiving and with Dallas Baker down today with a shoulder sprain Swede was brought up and makes the catch on the place playing the fourth receiver and 11 yard ground that's what Mike Tomlin told us he said he's a good play here but we just have so much depth and it's hard to get these guys activated and that only two tight ends 29 first and 10 all in the game and the call with him a few what Danny works his way to the 15 yard line and brought down by Brandon Johnson after a gain of 3 yards you know night when they step back and I look at this this dealers football team it's always been about building a team you go back to the days of Chuck Noland and Bill Cowher their legacy and it's never they're never going to build a system around any one player you look at what they're doing in Dallas with tio or even the Raiders it seems like they're always adding superstars they look for the right players who are leaders who fit into their system the football that's it's the left tackle Stark's is the technology best swede is back in but second down and seven and this is Gary Russell is brought down by Robert gathers no gain on the play staying at the 16 yard line so it reached the two-minute warning Roethlisberger with two touchdown passes more with three touchdowns on the day for the Steelers owen 7 will be the Cincinnati Bengals record for the worst offense in the NFL without Carson Palmer who is injured and probably out for the next three maybe more weeks and here's they got coming up over the next handful of weeks as they go to the end of November I mean you're talking about had to go to November 16 to fill it up a game before you be fortunate enough to have player like kazantip armor come back that older collateral ligament it's that tiny John deal that Jake Allen had Carolina that is causing in the problems late in the 37 kept with a nice back that's the the past real down by Heinz wow that was a touchdown those applying drill as well and a whiff on the temple by Jonathan Joseph who's on the win against the great Heinz young guy just got that ball his ward comes up with a touchdown reception his fifth of the year he had the game-winning touchdown reception against Jacksonville two weeks ago through the touchdown personal foul unnecessary roughness Cincinnati number 28 and 15-yard penalty will be enforced on the kickoff a touchdown house boy the thing I like about Hines Ward this guy has fun playing the game I mean every time you see the sink if he always has a smile on his face he is a great players a great competitors a great team leader you know he's one of the most unselfish receivers you talked about a physician in the National Football League that has some selfishness there's a guy right there that gets it read with the extra point he's had $15,000 worth of fines last two games which his team including Polamalu have stepped up and tried to support him we could take the two games played between the Steelers and Bengals a year ago and the game today Hines Ward has five touchdown receptions against Cincinnati in the last three games going back to last year Wow well tomorrow on CBS put a ratio Kane's own family be killers and it's a shocking new CSI that's tomorrow on CBS Steelers with four touchdowns and five second-half possessions left witches thrown a touchdown pass war just caught his Roethlisberger's thrown two touchdown passes Moore's had three touchdowns today two on the ground and one through the end complete domination by the division leading Pittsburgh Steelers will go to 5 & 1 & 3 & 1 the road and all smiles from Tom one and big ban on that Pittsburgh sign because the penalty they'll tee up the ball at the 45 yard line and that's where Reed will kick on we had Tom won his very first game as a head coach last year opening up the season in Cleveland then we talked to him yesterday it's interesting what one season is a head coach in the NFL will duty he's getting more great here the other thing I'll say about this is if you give a guy like Mike Tomlin Dick LeBeau and Bruce Arians an extra week to prepare it's tough they're a good group their wealth coach don't have good scheme the players pay for it Reid will boot this where Simpson will watch a die at the 5 and it's picked up by Kenny Watson to reserve running down we've got a block down the play and then takes it out to the 28 yard line in a 15-yard return that was by Johnson well it doesn't get any easier in the National Football League just looked in next month the Giants at Washington Indy San Diego and the only good thing is as a bunch of those games at home so you got one two three four the next five games at home Pittsburgh a very tough team to beat at home but tough schedule good football teams playoff caliber teams all all on the docket in the next month ahead for the Steelers where's the coach in his offensive coordinated his Jordan Palmer the brother of Carson Palmer in the backup quarterback now in the game [Music] [Applause] Watson ooh this change was talking about earlier really likes the players in particular beam of five up to the 25-yard line Jordan home but it's amazing that he looks a lot like his brother you you see him out there in the practice field the scene same body types six foot five 230 pounds he's kind of neat to see some clips of him last night and our production meeting watching him at Texas El Paso and chucking the ball around has a lot of records there and you see Carson Palmer they are completely different football team without Carson Palmer understanding no question second down short fine from the 25 Jordan Palmer outside completes his first NFL pass that Simpson brunt down the Lawrence Timmons on a gain of three and he's up to the 28 yard line Jordan Palmer was a sixth round draft choice by the Washington Redskins last season out of Texas El Paso he played in the Redskins preseason he was part of the final cuts as looks like Simpson who just caught his breath moments ago on the sidelines he's gonna be now laid out with 49 seconds to play in the game you talk about Carson Palmer what he's meant to this football team see up top here Simpson with his first NFL reception and the timeout because it's inside two minutes is hiring the Cincinnati Bengals Simpson to collect himself he's been inactive for half the season who's played and have to see somebody hasn't caught a pass from Coastal Carolina and getting back to Carson Palmer I mean all the experience that you lose and you know we talked a little bit about the no huddle today you know how we haven't seen that in a while because that's really where Carson Palmer was phenomenal and getting them in the best possible play the up-tempo style and we talked with Bob brickowski their offensive coordinator he said they didn't want to overload Ryan Fitzpatrick they it takes experience in the system and understanding a great feel for that package and so they've gotten away from that a little bit and so you lose a good percentage of your offense because you don't have the experience of Carson Palmer Anthony Smith now playing on the defensive back position is back at that safety it's third down in two pitch made by Watson drilled by William game one the 28-day is two years out of Louisville and he is a hard hitter played all 16 last year mainly on special teams when he comes in as a nickel and a dime that's experience and as a quarterback you have to always see out in front of throws you never want to lead your receiver into a head-on collision and experience in the system reps so important just know that Jordan Palmer probably hasn't had very many reps this week Palmer with fourth and one three tied enemies so I thought about judge Johnson one of the bombs by Anthony Madison that's the first down the 7 yard line four seconds remaining eight there pick up our producer today is Cincinnati born and raised Ken Matt he and Ryan Fitzpatrick have something in common they both went to Harvard get a great job great working with you today Brian Lilly has been our director Pat McGrath has been our statistician special thanks to John paquette and a terrific crew down in
