The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a one-point lead at the break in their AFC North clash against the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field.

Ben Roethlisberger returned to the field for the first time since week three, and engineered a scoring drive on his side's first possession as running back Le'Veon Bell ran through the Bengals' defense.

The 33-year-old capped the drive by firing to Antonio Brown on a quick route to the sideline, and the receiver made the catch for a one-yard touchdown.

Cincinnati responded with a strong drive of their own as Andy Dalton completed several strikes to his wideouts to get into the redzone, but an incompletion to Tyler Eifert forced a field-goal attempt from Mike Nugent, which the kicker sent through the uprights.

The Bengals moved to within a point when Nugent kicked his second field goal of the match, but their offense's struggles in the redzone continued as Dalton failed to find his receivers downfield.

Pittsburgh were dealt a major blow before the break when Bell sustained a serious knee injury when he was tackled making a run down the sideline, resulting him leaving the field on a cart.
