The Steelers (4-1) head to Cincinnati to face the Bengals (2-4) on Thursday night in a clash that feels like two teams living in different realities.
Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers experiment is paying off. The offense looks steady, the line is holding up, and the defense remains its usual bruising self. Coming off a 23-9 win over the Browns, the Steelers are humming on both sides of the ball, and this matchup looks like another chance to flex against a struggling division rival.

For Cincinnati, it's about survival without Joe Burrow. Joe Flacco's debut showed promise, especially his late connection with Ja’Marr Chase. But the defense continues to crumble, ranking near the bottom of the league in almost every key metric.
The Bengals have been gashed on third downs and red-zone possessions, and facing Rodgers in rhythm could spell trouble. Unless Flacco channels vintage magic and the defense finds a pulse, the Steelers’ momentum might roll right through Paycor Stadium.
