Thursday Night Football: How to watch Steelers vs. Bengals to watch

After losing Joe Burrow to injury for most of the season, the Bengals turned to 40-year-old Joe Flacco in an attempt to save their season. The Bengals are just 2-4, but find themselves in second place in the division because the 1-5 Ravens have been ravaged by injury and the 1-5 Browns are, well, the Browns. If the Bengals have any chance of catching the 4-1 Steelers in the AFC North, they need a win at home tonight.

The Steelers and Bengals kick off tonight at 8:15 PM ET (5:15 PM PT). The game will be streamed nationally Prime Video and free on Twitch. Fans in the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati markets can watch on a local TV station, but the rest of the country will have to stream it on Prime Video or Twitch.
