Pittsburgh’s defense recorded three first-half interceptions by Joe Burrow, including a 31-yarder to Minkah Fitzpatrick in the game’s opening minutes. The Steelers extended their lead to 17-3 after Mitch Trubisky hit Najee Harris on a 1-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter. The score was set up by Barrow’s interception of TJ Watt, who before Sunday’s game had never made many interceptions in a first half. Cincinnati’s best player in the first half was Joe Mixon, whose 31-yard run on a fourth-and-1 play set up Evan McPherson’s second field goal just before halftime. Mixon rushed for 67 yards on 15 carries in the first 30 minutes of the game. The Bengals suffered a loss when receiver Tee Higgins left the game after being hit hard. Higgins is out with a concussion. Can Pittsburgh topple Week 1, or will the Bengals rally in the second half? Follow our live blog below to find out.
