With the AFC North still very much up for grabs, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals face off in a pivotal Week 11 matchup.
The two teams met in primetime on "Thursday Night Football" less than a month ago, with Cincinnati edging Pittsburgh 33-31 on a game-winning field goal. Since then, the Bengals have lost two straight games to the Jets and Bears and sit at a disappointing 3-6, trailing the Steelers and the surging Baltimore Ravens in the division standings. Cincinnati is trying to stay afloat without superstar quarterback Joe Burrow, who has been out since Week 3. Veteran Joe Flacco replaced him and led the team to victory in that prior meeting.
The Steelers are on the opposite side of the spectrum. After taking an early lead in the division, Pittsburgh has cooled off dramatically, losing three of four -- including a tough 25-10 defeat to the Chargers in Week 10 -- and now sit at 5-4. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has faced heavy criticism following his season-worst performance last week, and the offense as a whole has struggled to find the explosive consistency that defined their hot start. Mike Tomlin’s team now holds only a one-game lead over the second-place Ravens, meaning their cushion for error is gone.
The Bengals are fighting for their season, needing a win to avoid falling further out of the AFC playoff picture, while the Steelers must secure a victory to reestablish control of the North and prove their recent slide is not a sign of things to come. The result of this Week 11 clash will undoubtedly swing momentum and reshape the AFC North race heading into the final stretch of the season.
