Cincinnati Bengals Host Pittsburgh Steelers in AFC North Showdown
CINCINNATI, Ohio — In a pivotal Week 13 clash, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers today at 1 p.m. Eastern at Paycor Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount Plus, with several streaming services offering options to watch, including free trials from Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Paramount+, and Sling.
Both teams are looking to reclaim momentum after recent setbacks. The Bengals enter the game following a bye week, eager to re-establish their playoff hopes after a narrow loss to the Chargers two weeks ago. Star quarterback Joe Burrow showcased his talent in that game, throwing for 356 yards and three touchdowns. However, the Bengals have struggled in close contests, with six of their seven losses this season coming by narrow margins.
Meanwhile, the Steelers, who recently had a five-game winning streak snapped by the Cleveland Browns, are anxious to bounce back. In that Week 12 defeat, quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 270 yards, but the Steelers’ defensive lapses allowed the Browns to clinch victory. As Pittsburgh seeks to regain its form, players to watch include Wilson, running back Najee Harris, and wide receiver Alec Pierce.
For the Bengals, key players include Burrow, running back Chase Brown, and standout receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who has consistently made an impact on the field.
A showdown between these two AFC North rivals is always anticipated, and today promises to be no exception. Fans can tune in for what is expected to be an electric match that might just redefine playoff trajectories for both teams.
