Week 2 of the NFL regular season is officially in the books. In last night's action, the Cincinnati Bengals hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers from Paul Brown Stadium. As the Steelers dropped to 0-2, Cincinatti picked up their first win of the season with a 20-10 victory. Bengals QB Andy Dalton helped to keep the offense flowing, but it was running back Giovani Bernard who led the team with two TDs, one rushing and one receiving.

From the baseball diamond, Philadelphia pitcher Cliff Lee excelled on both offense and defense. At the plate, Lee went 3-4 and drove in 4 RBIs. Meanwhile, he dominated on the mound over 8 innings, striking out 14 batters and only allowing two runs. Continue on for more of The Shoes That Won Last Night.
