Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers live updates from Week 1
Bengals #Bengals
CINCINNATI, Ohio — Coming off a Super Bowl run the Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the season.
Mitchell Trubisky will be the starter as the Steelers open the post-Big Ben era.
Trubisky, who signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Steelers in March, got the nod after battling Pickett and three-year backup Mason Rudolph throughout training camp. It will be a fresh start for the 28-year-old after failing live up to expectations with the Chicago Bears and then going through last season backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo.
The Steelers are going to have to worry a little bit about their defense against quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who have won the last three games in the series – including a sweep last season as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger played out his final year.
Burrow, who had to recover from an appendectomy at the start of camp after taking the Bengals on an improbable run to the Super Bowl last season, will operate in front of an improved offensive line with four new starters.
