AFC North Round-Up Week 2: Controversial Penalties Gift Wrap Cincinnati Bengals Loss

Cincinnati Bengals-Kansas City Chiefs matchups will always be classics.

It's just a shame that this rendition had to be decided by penalties. Cincinnati looked to snatch their fourth victory in the series.

Ja'Marr Chase's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty staggered a lengthy drive that ended in just a field goal. Still, Cincinnati was up by two on a 4th-and-16 with just 45 seconds left in the game. Then, a questionable late pass interference call basically sealed the victory for Kansas City.

Joe Burrow was visibly upset by the call, calling the result "as frustrating" of a loss as he's had in his career.

Deshaun Watson, Browns Win Ugly Game In Jacksonville

The Cleveland Browns edged the Jacksonville Jaguars behind a gritty defensive performance. Deshaun Watson didn't play particularly well but with Cleveland's defense, all he needed to was game manage and not give it away. Meanwhile, Jacksonville drops another tight matchup, which they need to avoid to remain competitive in the AFC South this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers Defense Helps Squeak Out Victory Over Denver Broncos

The Pittsburgh stagger to another gritty victory. Their opening drive touchdown led to some optimism of an offensive showcase...which never came to fruition. They scored just 13 points and 258 total yards of offense.

Fans always clown their ugly boring ways of collecting wins, but it'll continue as long as they remain victorious. This won't fly against tougher opponents, but facing the Falcons and Broncos gives fans just enough bragging points to top the division extremely early in the season.
