Steelers won't be able to bank on catching a huge break from the Bengals ahead of ultimate trap game on Thursday Night Football

Thursday Night Football is like a roller coaster for the first time. Totally unpredictable and a wild ride. That's especially true with division games and those within the AFC North. And just because the Pittsburgh Steelers have double the wins as the Cincinnati Bengals, it doesn't mean you should expect a runaway.

Armed with a new QB after what Mike Tomlin called a shocking trade from the Browns, Cincinnati will aim to spread the ball around to it's weapons. The key for the Steelers will be to attack the Bengals defense in a similar manner, especially if they are without Trey Hendrickson.

But in an effort to gain clarity on his situation as well as Flacco's, I spoke with John Sheeran of A to Z Sports Cincinnati, who said Don't rule out Hendrickson just yet. That and more in our preview of the Steelers at Bengals on TNF.

Q1. What did you see from Joe Flacco in his first start?

"I saw about what I expected to see. Flacco needed a half to get his feet wet and the game nearly got all the way out of hand by the time he found some rhythm. He didn’t make the egregious mistakes Jake Browning was getting accustomed to making, and he eventually started trusting his experienced arm to target Ja’Marr Chase in single coverage. They’re going to need a lot more of that in the coming weeks." - Sheeran
