Bengals-Steelers Was CBS' Most-Watched Week 1 Regional Game in More Than 20 Years

Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 23-20 in overtime.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals might've lost to the Steelers on Sunday, but that didn't stop them from drawing huge ratings. 

It was CBS' most-watched Week 1 regional game window since 1998 when the NFL returned to the network. They averaged 17.387 million viewers according to the Nielsen national ratings, which was 21% than last year. 

It was a wild, wacky game that the Steelers won 23-20 after Chris Boswell made a field goal at time expired in overtime.
