Steelers Try To Hold On To First In AFC North

November 15, 2025 4:25 am

The Pittsburgh Steelers will try to snap out of a month-long funk when the Cincinnati Bengals visit Acrisure Stadium. Pittsburgh is still atop the AFC North at 5-4 but has also dropped three of four games, starting with a 33-31 upset loss at the hands of Joe Flacco and the Bengals last month. The Bengals have lost two straight since that victory over the Steelers, thanks largely to a defense that is surrendering an NFL-worst 33 points per game. Cincinnati star quarterback Joe Burrow returned to practice this week while recovering from a toe injury but is not expected to play until around Thanksgiving.
