NFL Week 7: Steelers vs. Bengals Preview
As Week 7 of the NFL season approaches, an exciting AFC North clash awaits: the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday Night Football.
This matchup features a notable quarterback duel between Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco. It’s only the fourth instance since 1950 that two quarterbacks over 40 years old will start a game, the previous three being Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
Under Rodgers’ leadership, the Steelers have put together three consecutive wins, solidifying their position atop the AFC North. Interestingly, he’s averaging 204.2 passing yards per game, which might be a career low if this trend continues. But, he’s doing better than last season with the Jets, playing more efficiently, taking fewer sacks, and generating fewer turnovers.

Despite a rough start, he rallied in the second half, completing 21 of 30 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown.
