As the 2025 NFL season reaches Week 7, the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a crucial AFC North clash with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. The Steelers are traveling to Cincinnati for this divisional matchup, hoping to bounce back from their late-season struggles against the Bengals last year.
In 2024, the Steelers suffered a 19-17 home loss to the Bengals on January 4th, capping off a four-game slide to end the regular season. Now, the Steelers are looking to avenge that defeat and establish their dominance in the AFC North.
However, the Steelers will be without the services of strong safety DeShon Elliott, who is dealing with personal reasons and did not travel with the team to Cincinnati. Additionally, linebacker Malik Harrison is questionable to return from the injured reserve list, as he was a limited participant in practice all week.
Despite these injury concerns, the Steelers are determined to secure a victory and keep pace in the competitive AFC North division. This Thursday Night Football showdown promises to be a hard-fought battle between two division rivals, with the Steelers seeking redemption and the Bengals looking to maintain their momentum.
