Four. A victory Sunday would have meant four wins in a row against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time since 1990.
Four. That’s the number of interceptions thrown by Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow in a season-opening 23-20 overtime loss.
“You got to give credit to the Pittsburgh Steelers,” said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor after the game. “They showed up ready to play, they made some plays on some balls that were really great plays.”
Of course, it’s a whole lot easier to make “really great plays” when the opposing quarterback is under constant pressure.
