Overview

• Thursday’s Steelers-Bengals game features starting quarterbacks aged 40 or older, only the second such prime-time matchup and the fourth overall since 1950.
• The Steelers enter at 4-1 on a three-game win streak, while the Bengals are 2-4 after four straight losses with Joe Flacco newly installed as starter.
• During media availability, Cameron Heyward jokingly dubbed it the “Icy Hot Bowl,” and Aaron Rodgers said he thinks it is great for the older players and praised Flacco’s career.
• Rodgers and Flacco bring a combined 82 years and 226 days of age, 39 NFL seasons, 774 touchdown passes, and more than 102,000 passing yards.
• Rodgers is 3-0 head-to-head against Flacco, and Flacco is making his second Cincinnati start after an Oct. 7 trade from the Browns that put him on his seventh NFL team.
