PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers have a share of the AFC North lead going into Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but so do the Bengals - as well as the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. All four teams have 1-1 records going into this weekend's action. The Steelers own an impressive victory against the Bills in Buffalo and a disappointing home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, while the Bengals beat the Minnesota Vikings in overtime to open the season, then lost to the Chicago Bears. Both teams have displayed lackluster offenses to start the season. Both teams have suffered from offensive line play that charitably can be labeled "atrocious." Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sacked twice and hit 10 times against the Raiders and suffered a pec injury. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been sacked and hit a combined 25 times in the season's first two games. The game could come down to which team's putrid offense line plays worse.
