Bengals vs Steelers and our new 7 day trial!

In partnership with

TNF & 7 Days Free

It’s the battle of 40-year-olds on Thursday Night Football, with the Steelers in Cincinnati looking to improve to 5-1, and the Bengals in a must-win game. Joe Flacco versus Aaron Rodgers in 2025 on primetime - who had that on their bingo card?

Now, let's go into some trends!

Everyone and their cousin is talking about Ja’Marr Chase tonight - and for good reason. He’s the best receiver in the NFL, gets a great matchup against the Steelers, who rank 27th against wideouts this season, and their defense is 31st overall.

But last week’s indicators are important, here. The QB change for Cincinnati from Jake Browning to Joe Flacco gives us reason to be optimistic.

Higgins’ reception data this season, with the Joe Flacco start on the right

As you can see, in the three games that Browning started, Higgins had 2, 6, and 7 targets. Last week with Flacco, that jumped up to 8 targets, which he converted into 5 receptions. It was the first time this year he had at least 5 receptions, and like we said earlier, he has a great matchup to build on that tonight.

The Steelers’ defensive data - they’ve struggled containing wide receivers this season

Pittsburgh has given up the second-most receiving yards in the NFL this season, and the third most to wide receivers. Additionally, in years past, Higgins has shown up against Pittsburgh.
