Following their 26-17 loss to the Raiders last Sunday, the Steelers (1-1) will face the Bengals (1-1) in the first AFC North matchup for each team at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on CBS.
Pittsburgh, which won its Week 1 contest against the Bills, 23-16, struggled to find an offensive rhythm against Las Vegas, recording 39 rushing yards on 14 attempts while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was hit 10 times and sacked twice.
Roethlisberger is dealing with a left pec injury, according to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, and indicated Pittsburgh “better be ready to be adjustable” if Roethlisberger misses time.
Cincinnati, which lost to Chicago last week, 20-17, after a 27-24 overtime victory over the Vikings in Week 1, is also seeking to improve offensively after it recorded just 276 yards against the Bears. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow also had three interceptions, two of which came in the fourth quarter and limited his team’s scoring opportunities.
All four teams in the NFC North (Steelers, Ravens, Browns and Bengals) have a 1-1 record, making Sunday’s game additionally important for the division. Here’s a look at broadcast information for the contest.
