A half the Bengals dominated moved us no closer to a result, as the Steelers took advantage of one mistake to tie it 14-14 at the break.

The Bengals were cruising along, nursing a 14-6 lead, when Andy Dalton pegged one of his offensive linemen in the back of the head with a pass, which was picked off by LaMarr Woodley.

The Steelers quickly scored, with Ben Roethlisberger drilling one to tight end Heath Miller, who amazingly didn’t drop it.

The Steelers then went for the two-point conversion, hitting Miller again to tie it.

So despite a pair of turnovers and a generally sloppy game, they’re on even footing.
