After the tough loss to the Chiefs, the Steelers returned home for a game against the Bengals in a much-hyped game due to Ben Roethlisberger being back from injury.  This was also game 1 of a 3-game home stand. In the first quarter, the Steelers took an early lead as Ben found Antonio Brown on a 1-yard pass for a 7-0 lead.  Later on, the Bengals came within 4 as Mike Nugent nailed a 44-yard field goal for a 7-3 game.  In the second quarter, the Bengals came within a point as Nugent nailed a 45-yard field goal for a 7-6 game at halftime.  In the third quarter, the Steelers increased their lead back to 4 as Chris Boswell nailed a 32-yard field goal to make it 10-6.  In the fourth quarter however, it was all Bengals as they took the lead when Andy Dalton found A. J. Green on a 9-yard pass for a 13-10 game followed up by Nugent nailing another 44-yard field goal for the final score of 16-10. With the loss, the Steelers fell to 4-4. Not only did they lose the game, but they also lost star running back Le'Veon Bell for the season due to a torn MCL. Despite the loss, the defense had yet another stellar outing by picking off Dalton twice and sacking him three times.. How many points were the Bengals trailing by at halftime?
