Overview

• Chase predicted a punishing approach from Pittsburgh, saying via The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. that the Steelers will try to "raw dog" the Bengals and "kill us."
• The AFC North rivals play Thursday night in Cincinnati on a short week.
• Chase was listed as questionable earlier with an illness but appears set to play, according to recent reports.
• Analysts expect Pittsburgh to lean into a physical plan and devote extra coverage to limiting Chase.
• Cincinnati has struggled offensively without Joe Burrow, including fewer than 20 points in three of the last four games, and Pittsburgh is coming off a nine-point defensive showing against Cleveland, fueling expectations of a low-scoring matchup.
