Top 3 key players to watch out for Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Match

The Cincinnati Bengals (8-8) will be taking the Acrisure field tomorrow at 8 PM ET to play the match against the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6). At this point in time, both the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers desperately need a win tomorrow to enter into the playoffs. Cincinnati Bengals have consecutively won the last four matches while things are not looking that great for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals

The quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow is one of the strongest players in the team. Burrow also managed to perform exceptionally well in the 2024 NFL season. Burrow has been a key contributor in bringing the Bengals from a 4-8 record to at 8-8 today.

Burrow led the NFL in passing yards (4,641) and also in touchdowns (42) and has also thrown over 250 yards in each match since the middle of October. His consistency and precision have also been constantly appreciated along with his ability to perform under pressure.




Recently, the former linebacker of the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons spoke about Burrow and said on his podcast, “The Edge With Micah Parsons”, “His timing, precision. Everything. If you ask anybody in the league right now, it ain’t just me.”
Parsons also added that Burrow has been a major topic of discussion amongst everyone in the locker room in this season and everyone has come to the conclusion that Burrow is the “best quarterback”, even when he is being compared to Lamar Jackson.

There is a lot riding on Burrow’s shoulders and if the Cincinnati Bengals manage to win tomorrow, he becomes one of the most elite quarterbacks across the league.

Russel Wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers

Russel Wilson remains to be one of the most talented players of the Pittsburgh Steelers but his consistency has raised eyebrows. In the 2024 NFL season, he has had 2,334 yard, 5 interceptions, and 15 touchdowns in 10 starts. But his performance dropped on the Christmas Day match against one of the strongest teams in the NFL currently, the Kansas City Chiefs.




Steelers had lost to the Chiefs by a 29-10 and Wilson was observed to be actually struggling and throwing for a mere 205 yards and one interception.

Ja’Marr Chase - Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receiver is considered to be one of the best players in the 2024 NFL season who has made records on the field. In the 2024 NFL season, he created history by being the only player across the NFL to play two games with at least two scores and a phenomenal 260 receiving yards.




There are also speculations of Chase winning the NFL “triple crown” this season if he manages to hold the lead in receptions and receiving yards. This will make him the fifth person in the history of the NFL to receive the prestigious NFL “triple crown”.
