Latest news and updates about the Bengals
First-round pick Max Iheanachor made his first NFL start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was an impressive showing highlighting all the traits that made him the 21st pick of the 2026 draft. Let’s dive into the tape. We’ll break it down by Iheanachor as a run blocker and pass protector. Run Blocking Zone run […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had their fair share of offensive line woes to begin the season. That unit looked much better in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, but Pittsburgh appears to be scouring the market for depth. Per a tweet from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Steelers had interest in veteran offensive […]
Before Cris Collinsworth became the voice of Sunday Night Football analysis, he was a pretty good football player in his own right. Collinsworth spent eight seasons as a receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, made three Pro Bowls, and played in two Super Bowls. Sure, he never won a ring, but that’s a résumé most former…
When you give the ball to Jaylen Warren, good things tend to happen. The former undrafted product of Oklahoma State had one of the best games of his career on Sunday against the Bengals, compiling a career-high 176 yards from scrimmage (127 rushing, 49 receiving) and was the engine that drove the Steelers’ offense out […]
Joe Burrow’s girlfriend has been known to use her platform to speak out on various social issues, starting with her own sexual identity which kicked off plenty of controversy. Olivia Ponton may be an influencer at the end of the day, but knows quite well that her large platform comes with an even larger responsibility.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single […]
When the Pittsburgh Steelers were in crunch time late in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Asante Samuel Jr. was nowhere to be found. The Steelers instead rolled with rookie Daylen Everette and Jamel Dean at outside cornerback against one of the NFL’s best wide receiver tandems. Was Samuel benched for poor play? Did he […]
Well that sucked. After a Week 2 that saw them get their first win and look fairly stifling on defense against a Steelers team that just hung 30 on the Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots went down to Jacksonville and laid an absolute egg. Just a listless, lifeless, lame performance all around. It’s still early in […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked significantly better in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Steelers were finally able to run the ball consistently, protected Aaron Rodgers for the most part, and spread the wealth around. Some of that wealth went to Darnell Washington, who made a big impact late in the game. […]
In the days following the embarrassing road loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2, all the talk surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers was that it was the beginning of the end already in the Mike McCarthy era. That the 2026 version of the Black and Gold was going nowhere fast. With the Cincinnati Bengals […]
The Steelers’ 1-1 start to begin the Mike McCarthy era raised a lot of questions. He believes they answered some yesterday. For one thing, in their 30-27 win over the 2-0 Bengals, they showed they can beat a good team. And they also showed that they can score points—even when their defense isn’t great. Heading […]
Let’s be honest. Deep down, we all knew this was entirely possible. The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) were a wounded animal coming into Sunday, while the Bengals (2-1) were riding high on top of the AFC North. Now they have the exact same records. Here’s what we learned from a sloppy Bengals performance in Pittsburgh. There […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers completely turned around what had been a lackluster start to the season offensively in their 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After tallying 176 scrimmage yards in the win, it wasn’t surprising to see RB Jaylen Warren as PFF’s highest-graded Steelers player. And a week after a rough performance that still graded […]
The Cincinnati Bengals have clearly found a great player in Ja’Marr Chase. He reached a milestone on Sunday that reminds us of that. He became the fourth quickest player in NFL history to reach 7,000 receiving yards. Chase reached this milestone in 81 games. That beats out hall of famers Randy Moss and Jerry Rice […]
Your daily dose of Pittsburgh Steelers stats of the weird following the team’s thrilling Week 3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. – Since Week 9 of the 2020 season, the Steelers have scored more than 7 first-quarter points in three games. All three have come against the Cincinnati Bengals: Week 9 of 2020, Week 1 […]
The calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to start rookie first-round offensive tackle Max Iheanachor grew loud over the first two weeks of the season, especially as the offensive line as a whole struggled. Mike McCarthy ultimately made a change in Week 3, inserting Iheanachor into the starting lineup against the Cincinnati Bengals. All the rookie […]
The play calls might be elongated and more complicated, but the key to a successful offense isn’t hard to explain. Deception and leverage go a long way to beating up on defenses. That’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers did on all three of their passing touchdowns yesterday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Let’s take a look. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers delivered their most complete performance of the season thus far in a 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals after entering Week 3 having scored just 16 total points across their first two games.

I am starting to feel like Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2026 chances. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” That’s exactly what the Steelers did Sunday in the AFC North opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh’s offense came alive thanks […]
For the second time in as many weeks, the Steelers found defensive snaps for rookie CB Daylen Everette. Technically, he played one defensive snap in the season opener, as well, but he closed out the game in Foxboro with eight. On Sunday against the Bengals, he had a more extensive role, potentially rotating with Jamel […]
One of the worst things to come out of Sunday’s loss at Pittsburgh is that the conversation about Joe Burrow not being clutch is likely going to be reignited. With a chance to lead a game-winning drive, or at the very least a game-tying drive, Joe Burrow fumbled with less than a minute remaining, with […]
The Steelers looked inept on offense for the first two weeks of the season. Their 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday showed something very different. Although they still left some points on the field, the entire unit showed significant progress. Especially the offensive line, however, regrets having had to progress the hard way. The […]
Joe Burrow was left chewing on his late-game error after the Cincinnati Bengals bowed to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-27, at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday. Burrow steered the Bengals to scoring territory in the final minute. He, however, lost the ball after running into Derrick Harmon. Sebastian Joseph-Day recovered the ball, sealing the nail-biting win for […] The post Joe Burrow’s viral stat is hard to believe after Bengals’ loss to Steelers appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Cincinnati Bengals entered Week 3’s game at Pittsburgh with a better record but finished dead even with the Steelers at 2-1 after a 30-27 loss that included a Tee Higgins catch of the year candidate.
