Get ready for another primetime classic as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals square off in what’s being dubbed the “Battle of the Uncs” on Thursday Night Football. The AFC North rivals are set to clash under the lights this Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, live on Prime Video and streaming on @NFLPlus.
A Fierce Divisional Rivalry
When the Steelers and Bengals meet, it’s never just another game — it’s a physical, emotional rivalry built on decades of tension and unforgettable moments. Both teams enter this matchup looking to gain crucial ground in one of football’s toughest divisions.
For the Steelers, head coach Mike Tomlin will be looking to keep his team’s trademark toughness front and center. Quarterback Kenny Pickett and running back Najee Harris will need to spark an offense that’s shown flashes of promise, while the defense — led by T.J. Watt — will aim to pressure Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow early and often.
On the other sideline, Cincinnati is hoping to build momentum after an up-and-down start to their season. Burrow, now fully healthy, is reconnecting with star wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, while the Bengals’ defense looks to tighten up against Pittsburgh’s balanced attack.
Primetime Intensity
