say this is where the pittsburgh steelers are the pittsburgh steelers, though. they come in here, two offensive linemen can't play. their two starting running backs can't play. troy polamalu not there. the first first half, the bengals are all over them at home. and quietly back to the running game and dick lebeau makes a few changes on the defensive side and they shut down the bengals. >> al: it was that killer interception in the first half with dalton trooiting hoying too the ball and on the back of a helmet. this will wrap it up for good. dwyer, he gets taken down from behind at the 9 yard line. so dwyer, number 3 on a depth chart but number one in the hearts of steelers fans tonight, 17 carries, 122 yards, 32 on that one. >> cris: watch doug legursky. here's a guy playing basically

in place of the best center in the game in maurkice pouncey. he has been terrific. willie colon helps on the double team and run up the gut and everybody in the house knows you're going to run the football and the pittsburgh steelers can still run it and now a little victory formation and well deserved. they have had a great game. >> al: the kneel-down will end it. steelers rushed for 167 yards tonight. they outgained them 431 to 185. the time of possession, almost 37 minutes. they win one on the road and their first division game of the season, so 1-0 in the afc north. and they can start looking up at the baltimore ravens and feeling a whole lot better about things, after the events of this sunday. they go home next week to take on the washington redskins. cincinnati will have a bye week and then face denver.

so the steelers get back to 3-3. the bengals have now lost nine straight to the big boys of the afc north. pittsburgh and baltimore. the players of the game, ben roethlisberger, jonathan dwyer. what a night for dwyer. 17 carries, 122 yards. the steelers more than doubled their per game average on the ground in this game. their average coming in a bit about 75 and they had 167 yards rushing.

and ike taylor was on a.j. green. he had help, but, still, he had the primary assignment and held him to a single catch. ryan clark is on the field along with ben roethlisberger. at the join michele tafoya. >> michele: ben, mike tomless lynn told me at halftime you guys were continually shooting theirselves in the foot. how did you guys overcome that to end up winning this game? >> it was tough. i take a lot on myself. throw a pick, a fumble. put ourselves in too many holes. we had to fight and win this game. we did in in all phases and had each other's back the whole day. >> michele: the running game was productive no redman our mendenhall or pouncey. how did it work? >> next man, take nothing a away from the guys not out there but proud of the way the young guys and other guys stepped up and never a doubt they wouldn't do that. >> michele: you had a meeting with the offensive players this week to talk about the urgency

of winning. what do you think connect that meeting to this win? >> we got to come out and play. we said we wanted to close the game out. missed two opportunities there late in the fourth quarter to close it out and keep our defense out but the last drive kept them off the field like we wanted to do. >> michele: ben, thank you. ryan clark, the one drive in the first half, they had 80 yards. primarily running the ball on the ground. after that, really nothing. what changed? >> just sense of urgency. we kind of understood what they were going to try to do to us. the early success was tough and try to get them off the field. after that, we got our gaps right and able to win the game. >> michele: they have a huge offensive weapon in a.j. green yet you held them to pretty much nothing all night. how was that done? >> ike followed him all around and coach lebeau gave us calls we could have guys on top of them and jamming him at the line and safeties over the top and gave us opportunities to make plays and deter andy from throwing him the ball. >> you come in here 2-3 and now

even at 3-3. you get a win on the road finally. >> that's right. >> michele: what does this win do for you guys? >> it's big. our first road win and division game and huge. put us in the hunt. a lot of teams at 3-3 going into this week. only two teams boof .500 so right in the race. >> michele: ryan, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> first road win of this season for the steelers as noted. they are 18-4 in cincinnati since 1991. we welcome in tony dungy from new york. your reaction to tonight's game. >> bob, we don't always talk about assistant coaches but i thought offensive coordinator todd haley really called an outstanding game, especially in the second half. he went to the running game which i didn't think he was going to do but they had some big success running the ball and did a great job using the runs in the red zone to get chris rainey going and a big third down run call to jonathan dwyer and once dwyer got rolling, that really set the stage for them to

win this ball game. and as ryan clark just mentioned, i thought dick lebeau called an outstanding game too. he gave ike taylor a lot of help and dared cincinnati to beat them with other weapons and really took a.j. green away. >> so in many respects, especially in the second half, the steelers put it all together tonight. we have talked a lot about the afc today and tonight. what, in your view, was the big store coming out of the nfc? >> i think we have to look at the nfc east and the giants have been playing outstanding football. they have had two big wins in a row and been a lot of consternation about dallas but dallas is playing next week at home against the giants and if they win, they will be tied in the loss column and tony romo did an outstanding job against them and played maybe the best game i've seen him play in the opening night win. so the cowboys are right in position, as badly as things have gone the last two weeks. baltimore and arizona, those losses they got the ship righted today and they put themselves in

position to have a big game against dallas -- or against the giants this week. >> tony, thanks. check with you next week. we turn to mike florio of pro football talk and we ask you to you to us through some of the day's big injuries. >> a couple of teams and a couple of big injuries potentially. running back maurice jones-drew of the jaguars left the game against the raiders early with a left foot injury. he was in street clothes on crutches with a walking boot in the second half of that game. the coach mike mularkey will update his status on monday and same game starting quarterback blaine gabbert left in the first half with an injury to his left shoulder. nonthrowing shoulder i'm told and mri i'm told will be conducted on monday. for the redskins tight end fred davis star player for that team is lost for the season with a torn achilles tendon. reports that chris cooley who was cut in august by the redskins has re-signed with the team pending a physical on monday. london fletcher, redskins linebacker, hat longest active streak of any player in the nfl

>> water spouts and funnel clouds were spotted north of seattle. a man waiting for a ferry captured this of a water spout touching down.

people reported seeing water spouts and funnel clouds. the spout lasted between 30 and 90 seconds. in washington state, snow. a winter advisory was in effect in snowqualmie pass. higher elevations could get up to 10 inches of snow. your old stomping grounds, right? >> just down the right. >> looks like winter. >> we are headed the other direction. nice enough day during the day today. temperatures were fall all intenths and purposes right on the normal. 66 was the high and average is 65. 45 was the low and low or average is 44 for this date. no where near the records of 90 and 26 degrees set a number of years ago. so this was just what you'd expect this time of year, all right?

now, let's look at what we have for temperatures after the highs, 48 at the airport. 56, indianapolis. still 52 at edgewood. frederick's down to 41. oakland, 43. 41, someone may drop into the 30's as far as low temperatures are concerned. clear skies, few which is pi clouds over the philadelphia area and more clouds up towards new england and out in the great lakes. high pressure is giving us the good weather right now. there is a front out to the west. a weather system. pieces of that will kind of skid across the area early in the week, but this high pressure is going to dominate the weather for us for the next few days. look at where the highs were today. cool air is reaching down right close to us, but this warm air out to the west and that's moving into the picture, not away. moving into the picture. we are headed up temperature-wise.

overnight, our temperatures will be chilly. a few upper 30's for the lows and mid-40's around the bay. mostly clear skies. these temperatures are typically chilly this time of year, nothing unusual. now we go to the forecast tomorrow, we warm things up a little more. 68-72 the high today. five, six agrees. and a west breeze at five to 10 miles an hour. winds will be light. one-foot chop on the open waters of the bay. the future cast shows the dry conditions. watch the timeline. the weather out to the west will catch up to us in some degree as a little disturbance passes to our north and might be strong enough to throw something down our way in the nature of clouds, a shower or so but not a huge

rain threat. the week ahead is dry. down in the tropics, we have a weather developing, the question will it become sandy? it will be the next tropical storm name. the european model shows that storm coming north fairly close to the coast. the american model for long-range forecasting, doing a split and coming in. would sandy some time next week become a nor'easter? it's a long way off. 70 tomorrow, 76 on tuesday. very slight chaps for a sprinkle or shower. close to 80 on thursday. and by the end of next weekend. rain comes our way and then a lot of questions because of sandy. >> this is 11 sports. >> the st. louis cardinals proved a nightmare to try to
