Welcome to Week 4 of the Tiger Den! Where each week we'll get you caught up on everything involving the MOF Bengals and Coach Jfon.

Week 4 saw a big AFC North battle as the Pittsburgh Steelers at 3-0 came to town to battle the also undefeated Bengals.Despite a solid defensive gameplan by the Steelers vs Mixon the Bengals were still able to move the ball. Burrow found a groove and finished with 300 yards through the air. The Bengals roared out to an early lead and looked to be in control, but Pittsburgh hung tough and fough its way back with some big plays of their own including an 84 yard bomb to Darius Slayton. With the game tied 24-24 Burrow threw an ill advised pass that was picked off and looked to be taken back to the house giving the Steelers their first lead of the game. But Burrow hustled and made a hit on the showboating defender right at the 1 yard line forcing the ball out resulting in a touchback, giving it right back to the Bengals. That play would prove pivital and the Bengals would never look back going on to the 45-27 win, giving the Bengals sole possession of 1st place ihe division.
