Thursday Night Football: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals Preview + Odds
Two 40-year-old legends square off in Week 7 as Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco face off in a rare Thursday night clash between the Steelers and Bengals.
Aaron Rodgers vs Joe Flacco: Battle of the Uncs on Thursday Night Football
It’s officially the Battle of the Uncs in Week 7 of the NFL season. Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, who recently acquired veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. It marks only the second time in league history that two 40-year-old quarterbacks will face off — the last being Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees back in 2020.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. The Bengals sit at 2–4, clinging to their playoff hopes as they await the return of Joe Burrow from a turf toe injury. On the other side, Mike Tomlin once again has his team defying expectations at 4–1, showing the same gritty, disciplined football that’s defined his coaching career. Expect Tomlin’s defense to come prepared for Flacco, who’s still adjusting to the Bengals’ playbook after being traded from Cleveland.
A decade ago, Rodgers vs. Flacco would’ve been a primetime blockbuster — and honestly, it still feels that way. Both veterans are fighting against Father Time and proving they can still sling it under the lights. On a short week, expect a slow start and a defensive chess match where turnovers could decide the outcome. Get ready for Thursday Night Football — two future Hall of Famers in a classic AFC showdown. Check out the latest odds and full game preview below.
