The Cincinnati Bengals are throwing an absolute beat down on the Pittsburgh Steelers as they lead 31-3 at halftime.

Mike Hilton ended the half for the Bengals with a pick-six against his former team. Ben Roethlisberger looked helpless and threw it right into his hands. Cincinnati has help throughout their whole roster as they have a defensive touchdown, Joe Burrow touchdown, and a Joe Mixon touchdown.

It looks like Cincinnati is going to cruise their way to a victory and it would be huge for them in the AFC North standings. They're currently a game behind the Baltimore Ravens as the Ravens are 7-3. The Bengals are 6-4.

Cincinnati has had some disappointing losses this season including an ugly loss to the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns in two of the past four weeks. Besides those two losses, they have looked like one of the better teams in football.

They have gotten a lot of help this year from star rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. On the season he has 47 receptions for 867 yards and eight touchdowns. The 24-year old quarterback Joe Burrows has also been impressive this season as he has 2,645 yards and 21 touchdowns.

The future is extremely bright in Cincinnati as most of their young core is 25 years old or younger. They will look to make big waves this season and potentially win the AFC North division. A win against a division rival will certainly help them as Pittsburgh is right behind them in the standings.
