Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-5-1) put on quite the show the last time they played a game, defeating a highly-touted Tennessee Titans team, 31-20 in Paul Brown Stadium.
Burrow has been consistently solid in his delivery throughout his rookie season, and that Nov. 1 matchup was no different, as the quarterback completed 26-of-37 passing attempts for 249 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Heading into Sunday, Burrow and the Bengals are 7-point underdogs, per BET MGM, as they prepare to face an undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers team on the road at Heinz Field.
It will be no easy task trying to lay damage to the Steelers’ perfect record, but the Titans were a team to beat that several thought would pull out an easy win over Cincinnati, so the saying of “any given Sunday” could certainly ring true here.

The Bengals looked balanced on offense against Tennessee, with a pair of rushing touchdowns out of Giovani Bernard and Samaje Perine matching Burrow’s two touchdown tosses to Tyler Boyd and Bernard.
If the Bengals can find a way to capitalize off this newfound momentum and if Burrow can continue to grow the way we’ve seen him do all season, this team could have a real shot at pulling another upset.
The Bengals and Steelers are set to kick off at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday afternoon.
