The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals will clash this evening on Monday Night Football.

The second week of the NFL regular season kicked off on Thursday with a low scoring game between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots. Now the two AFC North teams will go head to head on Bengals home turf at Paul Brown Stadium.

During the preseason, the Steelers lost all four of their matchups. After suffering defeat at the hands of the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh carried their losing streak over into the regular season when they fell to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.

For their part, the Bengals have only performed moderately better than their competitors. While they may have triumphed over the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans in preseason, Cincinnati also lost to the Atlanta Falcons and the Dallas Cowboys before being defeated by the Chicago Bears in Week 1.

Heading into tonight's game, the Bengals' quarterback currently has a better standing than his Steelers counterpart, according to ESPN. With a higher completion ratio, more yards and more touchdown passes, 25-year-old Andy Dalton has made a stronger showing this season than Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger.

Fans can catch a free live stream tonight's game on NBC Sports starting at 8:20 p.m.
