It's an AFC North clash to kick off NFL Week 7 when the Steelers visit the Bengals on Thursday.
Last season, the two squads split the difference with Pittsburgh winning the first matchup 44-38 and Cincinnati the second at 19-17. But this year, these teams are entirely different, and the AFC North race is wide open.

Aaron Rodgers is back in his prime at the helm of the Steelers, recording eight touchdowns on 786 yards through four games, which included a win over the Vikings while in London.
The Bengals, on the other hand, could use some quarterback help. With Joe Burrow out, it is up to Jake Browning to step up to the job. However, has more interceptions than touchdowns through his first few games. That doesn't mean Cincinnati is out of the picture, though, as anything is possible with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins down the field.
