The Cincinnati Bengals' first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn't have gone much worse.

Between the rough offensive line play and multiple turnovers from Joe Burrow, it was a bad all-around half.

To make matters worse, the Bengals lost wide receiver Tee Higgins for the rest of the game due to a concussion.

Higgins is obviously a key part of the offense. The Bengals will hope that this concussion doesn't linger.

Head injuries, however, can be very unpredictable. There's no guarantee that Higgins will be good to go next week against the Dallas Cowboys.

If the Bengals aren't able to come back against the Steelers, it'll be a tough start to the season. All losses, though, count the same. And the Bengals were never going to go undefeated.

The far bigger concern for Cincy is the injury to Higgins and the poor offensive line play. If Higgins misses extended time and the offensive line doesn't improve, it could be a disappointing season.
