Who is the true king in the north? TNF this week gives us a division battle of two Super Bowl champion starting QBs in their 40’s. This marks the third time in history both starters are 40+ years old. The Steelers lead the all time series 71-40. Flacco is 10-11 all time as a starter against Mike Tomlin and has never beat Rodgers (0-3). However, the Steelers are 0-6 under Mike Tomlin in divisional TNF games on the road. Something has got to give.
Cincinnati Bengals Outlook
Ja’Marr Chase has topped 90+ yards in back-to-back games, but with Jalen Ramsey likely shadowing him, Flacco might spread the ball around more. Keep an eye on Tee Higgins, who’s averaging 7 targets per game over the last three weeks. With competent QB play finally back in Cincinnati, (sorry, Jake Browning. Jk not sorry, you suck) the Bengals’ offense looks ready to remind everyone what it can do.
Pittsburgh Steelers Outlook
Rodgers has logged 200 yards in four of five games thus far and is now facing a bottom two passing defense. DK has also found the endzone in four straight games, and looks to continue building chemistry with Rodgers. So, the question remains: will Rodgers tighten his grip on the division, or can Flacco finally notch his first win against him?
Hmmm 🤔
DK Metcalf Anytime TD (+135) — 4 touchdowns in his last 5 games.
Tee Higgins o/u 46.5 yards — Has hit this over in 2 of 6 games this year.
Aaron Rodgers o/u 217.5 passing yards — he’s gone over this mark in just 2 of 5 games, but Bengals’ opponents have cleared this in 5 of 6. Only Carson Wentz failed to do it.
