November 13, 2026 4:27 am

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are on a hot streak with a four-game winning run. They face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in a key AFC North matchup. Both teams have a 6-2 record and are tied atop the division. The Bengals are coming off a 31-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. Pittsburgh is rested after a bye week. Historically, teams coming off a bye have an advantage against those returning from international games. Bengals coach Zac Taylor believes facing a division rival offers some benefits. Burrow leads the league in several passing categories, but the Bengals’ defense has struggled against the run.
