## Overview

The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 6-2 and have won four straight, outscoring opponents 180 to 144 along the way. Their recent form reads win over win: 27-6 over the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, 16-10 at the New Orleans Saints in Week 7, 26-19 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6 and 34-22 over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, with their lone recent blemish a 24-27 loss at the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.

The Cincinnati Bengals match them at 6-2 and are riding their own four-game winning streak, having scored 240 points against 175 allowed. Their last five results run 34-17 at the Atlanta Falcons, 43-36 over the Tennessee Titans, 35-13 at the Baltimore Ravens, 31-24 at the Miami Dolphins and a 17-22 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4.

Pittsburgh already has the head-to-head edge this season, having beaten Cincinnati 30-27 in Week 3, and that gives the Steelers the slight psychological upper hand even as road underdogs. Pittsburgh lists defensive tackle [Derrick Harmon](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/derrick-harmon) as questionable with a foot injury heading into Sunday night.

## Key players

Aaron Rodgers already ranks third in NFL history with 585 touchdown passes and fifth with 180 wins, and per the NFL, a win over the Cincinnati Bengals would tie Drew Brees for the fourth-most wins by a starting quarterback in NFL history, including the postseason, at 181.

[Jaylen Warren](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jaylen-warren) is coming off a season-high 143 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 8 and has piled up 125-plus scrimmage yards in five of his past six games.

[DK Metcalf](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/dk-metcalf) starts at wide receiver in a group that also includes [Germie Bernard](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/germie-bernard) and [Ben Skowronek](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/ben-skowronek).

[Chris Boswell](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/chris-boswell) gives Pittsburgh a steady presence in the kicking game as the Steelers look to keep their winning streak alive.

[Rico Dowdle](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/rico-dowdle) scored his first rushing touchdown of the season in Week 8 to go with 56 rushing yards and is chasing his fourth straight primetime game with 50-plus scrimmage yards.

## Keys to the game

Pittsburgh has to slow down [Joe Burrow](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/joe-burrow), who leads the NFL with 23 touchdown passes and a 114.8 rating, and [Ja'Marr Chase](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/ja-marr-chase), who caught 10 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown last week.

The Steelers need their run game from Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle to control the clock and limit Cincinnati's possessions.

Getting pressure from [T.J. Watt](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/t-j-watt), who is aiming for his third straight game with a sack, and [Cameron Heyward](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/cameron-heyward), who is aiming for his third straight game with a pass breakup, will be key against a Bengals offense that has scored 240 points this season.

## Fantasy angles

Aaron Rodgers is a confident start at 16.0 projected points. He's working on a sixth straight game against Cincinnati with a 100-plus rating and a fourth straight primetime outing with 220-plus passing yards and a touchdown pass.

Jaylen Warren is locked in as a start at 15.5 points. He's got 125-plus scrimmage yards in five of his last six games and is chasing a third straight Sunday Night Football game with 90-plus scrimmage yards.

DK Metcalf projects for 9.5 points and is a fine flex play given his spot in the starting receiver group alongside Germie Bernard and Ben Skowronek.

Chris Boswell is a safe start at 9.0 points for an offense that has kept winning behind its four-game streak.

Rico Dowdle is the goal-line name to watch. He scored his first rushing touchdown of the season last week and is projected for 8.5 points, making him a strong flex if Pittsburgh leans on him near the end zone.

## Prediction

The market favors the Cincinnati Bengals by 3.5 points with a total of 49.5, and the projected score of Cincinnati Bengals 27, Pittsburgh Steelers 23 points to a tight, high-scoring finish at Paycor Stadium. Pittsburgh already beat Cincinnati once this season, winning 30-27 in Week 3, and with Aaron Rodgers playing at a high level and the Steelers riding their own four-game winning streak, this one looks like it comes down to the final possessions.
