The 2022 season didn’t start kindly for the two teams that appeared in the Super Bowl seven months ago, Cindy Boren writes.
The 2022 season didn’t start kindly for the two teams that appeared in the Super Bowl seven months ago. After the Los Angeles Rams, the reigning NFL champions,Thursday night, the Cincinnati Bengals had a ragged start of their own on Sunday.
Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow’s first pass of the season was intercepted and returned for a score by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Burrow finished the half with four turnovers as the Steelers took a 17-6 lead into the locker room. Burrow’s terrible half came with a dubious distinction. He became only the second quarterback in the last 20 seasons with four or more turnovers in the first half of a season opener,Burrow, who has never before had a four-turnover game, also lost a fumble and was sacked four times in the half behind an offensive line that had been revamped in an attempt to reduce the battering he has taken since entering the NFL. Another potential interception was nullified by a penalty.
