The Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers in another exciting AFC North contest. Pittsburgh controls its own fortunes in the division until a surprising road loss at Cleveland and looks to regroup against another Ohio foe.

Here’s how to watch Steelers at Bengals

Despite a weak record, Cincinnati’s powerful passing game represents another dangerous test for the Steelers. The Bengals are winless against teams over .500 this season and have a few points lead in this matchup after their bye week.

Joe Burrow leads the NFL in pass attempts and touchdowns and is forced to throw often due to the Bengals’ inconsistent running game. Cincinnati still hasn’t figured out its backfield post-Joe Mixon, with the Bengals ranking 27th in rushing offense. Against a top-five Pittsburgh run defense, it could be another Burrow-heavy afternoon for Cincinnati.

The Steelers will do everything they can to contain receiver Ja’Marr Chase, the NFL’s all-time leader in receiving yards, yards after the catch and receiving touchdowns. Even with Chase held in check, fellow receiver Tee Higgins still managed a monster return in Week 11 against the Chargers. Leadback Chase Brown gives Burrow a good check-down option, although his yardage is inconsistent.

Pittsburgh was on a five-game winning streak before suffering a tough loss to the Browns. The Steelers, whose run-heavy system leads the league in times of possession, will turn on their backs in hopes of keeping Burrow off the field. Facing a subpar Cincinnati secondary (No. 23 in passing yards allowed), quarterback Russell Wilson is looking for a consistent second option alongside receiver George Pickens.

Although Trey Hendrickson leads the NFL with 11.5 sacks, Cincinnati ranks 30th with just 19 total sacks on the season. The Bengals also have to fix a terrible red zone defense that ranks 31st in the league.
