On Thursday Night Football in Week 7, the Bengals hosted the Steelers. It was their first of two meetings in 2025. Additionally, it was Cincinnati’s second game with Joe Flacco as their starter.
The Bengals traded with the Cleveland Browns on October 7. Just 10 days later, Flacco led Cincinnati to a massive win on TNF vs. the 4-1 Steelers. It was another vintage performance for Flacco, passing for 342 yards and throwing three touchdown passes. Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase was targeted 23 times by Flacco. He finished the game with 16 receptions for 161 yards and one touchdown. His 16 receptions are a new franchise record for the most catches in a single game.
