Key Storylines & Matchups
Pittsburgh comes in off a convincing win over Cleveland, improving to 4–1, and enters as a 5.5-point road favorite. The Bengals, reeling from multiple losses and navigating life without Joe Burrow, are turning to Joe Flacco under center after acquiring him midseason. A major question is Cincinnati’s pass rush: star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is dealing with back issues and his status is uncertain. The Steelers’ defense, meanwhile, will look to pressure Flacco, disrupt timing, and exploit vulnerabilities in Cincinnati’s secondary. Offensively, Pittsburgh must balance their attack and capitalize on turnovers. The storied Bengals–Steelers rivalry adds extra weight, and Thursday night under the lights, situational play, special teams, and red zone efficiency could tip the outcome.
