The Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will face off on Sunday as Week 2 of the NFL 2016 regular season continues. Both teams claimed victories in Week 1, but only one will be able to leave Heinz Field in Pittsburgh today with a 2-0 record. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Bengals managed to come away from New York with a one point win over the Jets in Week 1. The back and forth game could have gone either way, but the Bengals managed to see off some late pressure from the Jets to ensure they claimed the win 23-22.
This week they come up against a very strong Steelers side. Pittsburgh also claimed a victory in Week 1, destroying the Washington Redskins 38-16 in a hugely one sided contest.
The Steelers got off to a slow start and didn't register any points until the second quarter of that game, but they piled on the points in the final three quarters to record a comfortable opening game win.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football the New York Jets achieved their first win of the season as they defeated their in-state rivals, the Buffalo Bills 37-31.
The Jets had opened up their season with a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, where they looked like they were still in pre-season. However, the Jets woke up on Thursday night, and put on a much more explosive display.
Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed an impressive 24 of 34 passes for 374 yards as he took apart the Bills' secondary with the help of wide receivers Eric Decker, Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa.
Decker put on a stellar performance with six catches and a touchdown, and moved to 18 straight games recording at least 80 receiving yards or a touchdown.
Marshall meanwhile also had a fantastic game, recording six catches for 101 yards. He did give the Jets a scare in the second quarter when he went down with a knee injury. Marshall made a 15 yard reception but went down under Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Marshall was down on the field for several minutes.
Marshall said after the game: "I thought I was done. I thought I was going to be finishing in my backyard in Florida."
However, even though he departed the field with the help of trainers, he returned to the game and continued to tease the Bills' defense.
Fitzpatrick later said, "Brandon is one of the tougher guys you'll ever see. They were looking at his knee, and I didn't think it was good. To see him on the ground in pain, I knew something was wrong. But then, when he stepped back in the huddle later on, it was a big surprise, but relief as well."
Tyrod Taylor tried to get the Bills offense going, and completed 18 of 30 for 297 yards and three touchdowns, however, Buffalo were just too inconsistent throughout the night and lacked efficiency in their play.
