Bengals Look to Bounce Back Against Divisional Rival
The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a crucial AFC North showdown on Thursday Night Football. The Bengals, coming off a disappointing 1-4 start, will look to rebound against their division rival, who has won three straight games and now sits atop the division.
Cincinnati will be without several key players, including tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) and wide receiver Charlie Jones (rib injury). Additionally, star defensive end Trey Hendrickson is questionable to play due to a hip injury. These absences will make the task of slowing down the surging Steelers offense even more challenging for the Bengals.
Steelers Riding High Ahead of Divisional Clash
The Steelers have turned their season around in recent weeks, winning three consecutive games to take control of the AFC North. Led by a resurgent defense, Pittsburgh has climbed back into playoff position and is now the odds-on favorite to win the division.
Veteran quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco will face off in a rare matchup of experienced signal-callers. Both teams will be looking to establish the run game, with the Steelers' backfield duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren expected to play a key role.
