The two oldest quarterbacks in the NFL will face off on Thursday night when Aaron Rodgers' Steelers meet Joe Flacco's Bengals in Cincinnati.

The Bengals (2-4) are looking to snap a four-game losing streak, while the Steelers (4-1) want to extend their three-game winning streak and remain the dominant team in the AFC North.

Flacco is very familiar with the Steelers after spending a decade with the rival Ravens. This will be his first chance to see the Steelers in 2025, though, after he was traded from the Browns to the Bengals. He threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 6 loss.

Rodgers, meanwhile, is playing at a high level in his first season with the Steelers. He has completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 1,021 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions in Pittsburgh's first five games.
