Tecmo Bowl Futures: Bengals Vs. Steelers

You can go anywhere on the web and find what the experts think the outcome of any game will be. I have my own expert. She was born in 1991 and has had my heart ever since. Her name, Tecmo Super Bowl.

Monday night in Cincinnati. Tecmo is there ready to lay down it's prediction of how the Bengals are going to bounce back from the week one loss against the Bears.

The Steelers look like a team that the Bengals should be able to handle, but lets see what the 8 bit wizard thinks the outcome will be.

The Steelers receive the opening kickoff and on the second play from scrimmage Ben Roethlisberger is blown up by Domata Peko. He fumbles the ball and the big man scoops it up and runs it in for a touchdown. The Bengals are on top early 7-0.

The Bengals seem to be out for blood. Ben is again sacked, this time it is Michael Johnson getting him down. Roethlisberger once again fumbles and it is scooped up by Dre Kirkpatrick.

zone.
