How to Watch the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals: NFL: Week 12 | Channel, Stream, Preview, and Prediction
CINCINNATI — Two teams that have many off-the-field stories meet up Sunday afternoon as the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It was a very eventful week in between games for both teams.
It all started during last week’s edition of Thursday Night Football, as Joe Burrow’s wrist, which was allegedly injured heading into the Bengals’ clash with the Baltimore Ravens, was aggravated enough to pull him from the game. He was effectively ruled out for the rest of the season after the 34-20 loss, leaving Jake Browning to take the reigns. There are many questions on whether or not he is capable of leading the team to the playoffs, meaning both the rushing attack, featuring Joe Mixon, and their defense will have to step up.

After an embarrassing 13-10 loss to another division rival, the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh finally canned offensive coordinator Matt Canada. While they remain in postseason contention, the Steelers’ defense has been the reason for the team’s success. They have not scored more than 26 points in a game this season and have been held to 10 or fewer points four times. Quarterback coach Mike Sullivan and running back coach Eddie Faulkner will be splitting the play-calling duties, hoping to help Kenny Pickett and the offense get things going down the stretch.
Sunday marks the 108th meeting between these rivals, with the Steelers leading 68-39. The Bengals have won four of the last five matchups, though Pittsburgh stole an overtime win in September of last season.
