Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) (Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video): Should Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Cincinnati quarterback Joe Flacco both start on Thursday night, it will mark the third matchup all-time between starting quarterback both over the age of 40 (Tom Brady and Drew Brees met twice during the 2020 season).
- Rodgers enters Week 7 with 63,973 career regular-season passing yards and on Thursday, can surpass Ben Roethlisberger (64,088 passing yards) for the fifth-most regular-season passing yards in NFL history.
- Cincinnati wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase registered 10 catches for 94 yards and his 50th career touchdown reception last week and became the third player in NFL history with at least 50 touchdown receptions prior to his 26th birthday, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss (60 touchdown receptions) and Rob Gronkowski (54). Chase has 13 career games with at least 10 receptions, trailing only Michael Thomas (18 games) for the most such games by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history.
