The Steelers (4-1) will roll into Cincinnati to face the Bengals (2-4) on Thursday night, looking like a team finally finding balance on both sides of the ball.
Aaron Rodgers has the offense clicking behind one of the league's sturdier lines, and Pittsburgh's defense continues to bully opponents. Coming off a 23-9 win over Cleveland, Mike Tomlin's crew looks primed to handle business against a Bengals team still searching for direction.
Cincinnati is riding out the post-Joe Burrow chaos, now turning to Joe Flacco for any spark. He showed some rhythm with Ja'Marr Chase last week, but that shaky defense, ranked near the bottom in almost every major category, keeps undoing progress.
