How many times did Steelers line up across scrimmage?

Seriously - didn't get to watch most of the game but highlights show a lot of hands on the line of scrimmage. Couple that with what looked to be dirty hits, the second being part of the scheme. There are other ways to defend and league should take notice.

On a side note, OL looked improved. Steelers ran engage eight most of the game, Burrow will pick that apart mid-season. TJ Watt is impressive but did not dominate and Burrow was rusty.

You think the offensive line looked improved?

Watt lines up with his hand covering the ball every play just like Donald did in the SB, & they don't ever get called. They are clearly in the neutral zone & get away with it.

Actually, in terms of run blocking, I did as well.

The problem was Burrow was way too indecisive.  He held on to the ball too long and it never improved, right down to the very last fumble.  The other team had a plan to get the ball out quick and it negated the Bengals pass rush.  Hard for me to say not seeing the all 22 yet (boy, that will be fun) if Burrow ignored checkdowns or didn't have them but he held on to the ball WAY too long.  That needs to be the focus for his improvement.
