The Steelers started with the ball but the bengals defense made a good job to stop Bell avoid to leave him holes to run in. Dalton went the majority of the plays to his favorite target Green but Pitts defense forced them to a 4th down that Cincy tried to convert on a fake punt but they failed. The Steelers scored their 1st 7 points of the game thanks to a great and explosive drive by Roethlisberger who made 2 Big plays delivering 2 very good passes to Weathon outside for a 16 yards gain and the other to Moore on slot Deep down the middle, he finalyzed the drive with a Miller TD reception on a 1 yard flat route. The Bengals reacted in the best way possible eating the field with just 2 passes the 1st a 56 yards strike to Green who attacked the weakness of the cover 2 receiving the ball between the 2 safeties then Dalton Found Gresham in the endzone on a post route after a play action fake. Bengals defense continue to play Great and gave their offense the chance to get the lead and after a balanced drive and Dalton finalyzed it in an uspectated way with a Big run after an awesome read option fake that fooled everyone. Roethlisberger help his team to cut the deficit driving his team down field on the last drive of the 1st half to let Suisham score his 1st FG of the game. A very fast 3rd quarter saw Bell score a receiving TD on a flat route after 2 good receptions by the always productive Brown. Dalton answer back throwing an 81 yards strike to Green who beat Taylor after Deep on a fly route after a bad executed bump and run. After that Pittsburgh kicked a FG and recovered a fumble on the following drive made by Dalton who collided with Hill on a read option, Bell took advantage of the gifted possession of the ball and scored on a counter run his 1st rushing TD of the game. Roethlisberger converted by 2 to TE Miller to be ahead of a full possession. Roethlisberger tried to kill the game with a 94 yards TD pass to rookie WR Bryant after a play action fake that fooled the defense who played commited to the running game with the intent to stop Bell. The Bengals defense witnessed to the awesome drive completely Dominated by Bell who killed the Bengals hope on a power play run on the left side of his o-line to score his 3rd total TD of the game.
A very intense and powerful game by the Steelers has been their key to win in Cincinnati, Cincinnati offense has been poor with the exception of AJ Green who played an huge game and did everything he can to let his team win but on the other side he found a very compact and motivated team lead by the 2nd year HB Le'Veon Bell who has been unstopable all game long even due to the attention that Bengals defense reserved to the passing attack lead by an improved Big Ben on the road who could rely in a veryy efficient WR core lead by leader in yards received A.Brown. The Steelers defense played like a typical Steelers defense good on run but vulnerable to the passes especially the ones deep to beat their cover 2 even because SS Polamalu plays more committed to the run and also because the CBs Taylor and Gay are not good enough to keep a 1 on 1 coverage. The MVP trophy goes to Le'Veon Bell who finished the game with 185 yards and 2 TDs on the ground and 50 yards and 1 TD on the air.
