What is the story about?

The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-0 following Sunday’s road win over the Houston Texans. Up next, the Bengals will look to score their first AFC North victory of the season when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After a less-than-inspiring 1-1 start, the vibes in Pittsburgh aren’t great, enough that the Bengals are actually favored by 3.5 points this week, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Steelers have won four of six in this series, but three of those wins came with Joe Burrow out of the lineup.

Burrow is still working through back tightness, but he’s expected to play Sunday in Pittsburgh, where he’s actually won three straight starts.

So, will the Bengals take care of business in the Steel City? Or will the Steelers hand the Bengals their first loss of the 2026 season?
