Welcome to the Week 1 grades.
The first full Sunday of the NFL season is underway, which might come as news to the Bengals and Steelers, because based on the way they played, it looks like someone forgot to tell them that the season was starting.
With all of the 1 p.m. games in the book, those two AFC North teams were given two of our lowest grades of the day. The Bengals were so bad that they basically waved the white flag in the fourth quarter by benching all of their starters in Cleveland’s 24-3 win.
As for the Steelers, they were behind 20-0 to the 49ers before they seemed to realize that the game had started. With five minutes left to play in the first half, the Steelers had ONE YARD of total offense.
Now that you know who got the worst grades of the week, let’s check on how everyone else did in Week 1 (If you’re looking for a deeper dive on the Lions‘ shocking 21-20 win over the Chiefs that was played on Thursday, be sure to click here.)
