The Steelers lost 33–31 to the Bengals on Thursday Night Football to begin Week 7. It was an old school quarterback battle between Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers with the new Cincinnati quarterback coming out on top thanks to a near-perfect performance by Ja'Marr Chase.
Aaron Rodgers also played pretty well, throwing for 249 yards and four touchdown passes. Down six points late in the fourth quarter, Rodgers threw a go-ahead 68-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth. The veteran quarterback was so happy with the play that he broke out his joyous Mario celebration.
