AFC North Rivalry Between Steelers and Bengals Takes on a Touch of Gray with Rodgers Facing Flacco
Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco, both over 40, will meet in only the third NFL game featuring quarterbacks aged 40 or older, highlighting the rarity of this veteran duel.
- On Thursday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco will meet on Thursday Night Football this week in only the third NFL game featuring two starting quarterbacks age 40 or older.
- Historically, only Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback in 2020, and Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints quarterback in 2020, started opposite each other at age 40 or older in three 2020 season games.
- Rodgers has 10 touchdowns, two interceptions, and is completing 68.80% of passes while leading Pittsburgh to a four and one start, and Flacco threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns in his first Bengals start on Sunday.
- For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the game offers a chance to increase their stranglehold over the AFC North while the Cincinnati Bengals need a win to boost their chances of playing meaningful football deep into the season.
- Steelers coach Mike Tomlin went out of his way Monday to question the Cleveland Browns' trade of Joe Flacco to a division rival, calling it `shocking` earlier this week; Flacco is 12-13 all-time against Pittsburgh including playoffs.
