Half-Time Report: Pittsburgh Steelers crushing hapless Cincinnati Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers have dominated the first half against Cincinnati Bengals to lead 27-7 at Heinz Field.

The home side went ahead when Kevin Huber fumbled a snap, allowing Will Allen to tackle for what looked like a safety.

However, the officials ruled him down at the one-yard line - although it only delayed the inevitable, as Le'Veon Bell dashed into the endzone from the resulting play.

Antonio Brown extended the lead thanks to a pass from Ben Roethlisberger, before Brown returned Huber's punt for a 67-yard score.

Suisham added three more points with a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter, but Giovani Bernard got the Bengals going five minutes before half time.

The 22-year-old running back collected a hand-off to put seven on the board, but another kick from Suisham stretched the Steelers' advantage to 20 points.
