Steelers ................... 23 Bengals ............. 20 (OT)
Chris Boswell kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired in overtime and Pittsburgh overcame T.J. Watt’s injury late in the fourth quarter to beat Cincinnati in a sloppy season opener for both teams.
Joe Burrow, who threw a career-worst four interceptions, rebounded from a lousy start and rallied Cincinnati from a 17-6 halftime deficit. His six-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase tied it at 20 with two seconds left in regulation, but the game went to overtime after Minkah Fitzpatrick blocked Evan McPherson’s point-after try. Fitzpatrick also had an interception, as did Watt.
