Since the year 2000, the Pittsburgh Steelers have won the AFC North nine times, but that doesn't really reflect their dominance over many teams in that division. In that same timeline, the Steelers have faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals now 41 times with the city of Pittsburgh winning 32 of those games.

In fact, the Steelers have not only beaten the Bengals, but have had their way with them in the last two minutes of the first half.

Thanks to a Chris Boswell 29-yard field goal with 58 seconds left in the first half, the Steelers were able to add to that incredible stat, making it 23 of 27 first half's where they were able to put points on the board in the final two minutes.

Not only were the Steelers able to get their first win on the season, but they did so in dominating fashion, only allowing three points the entire game. Mason Rudolph had a good game as well, throwing the ball efficiently, going for 24-for-28 and totaling 229 yards with two touchdown passes.

Rudolph was also able to show off his arm, as the 24-year-old quarterback showed why he is the all-time leader at Oklahoma State in passing yards, touchdowns, and total offense. With this maybe being the breakout game the Steelers needed to get their season rolling, a tough Ravens team will be waiting and hoping to prove they are the top dogs in that division.

If the Steelers want to get back into contention for a potential playoff spot, beating the Ravens and getting some serious momentum going is a must.
