The Athletic sets the stage for Steelers-Bengals on Thursday night in Cincinnati, where 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers leads 4-1 Pittsburgh against Joe Flacco’s 2-4 Bengals. Pittsburgh thrives on takeaways, short fields and T.J. Watt’s presence, but struggles on third down. Cincinnati’s offense and defense lag near the bottom, with a hip concern for Trey Hendrickson even as rookie Shemar Stewart returns to practice. Expect the "White Bengal" look, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit on the call, and local ABC/Prime Video coverage. Pittsburgh leads the series 69-40, with two playoff wins.
