What happened: Steelers coach Mike McCarthy laid out his key to the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Why it matters: Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were tied at 6-2 heading into the Nov. 10 trade deadline, so the matchup carries weight in the AFC North race.
By the numbers: Cincinnati won 34-17 at the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 8. Joe Burrow has 23 touchdown passes through the Bengals' 6-2 start.
What to watch: Both rosters are set after the deadline, which Cincinnati entered having backed out of an agreed trade for Eagles edge Arnold Ebiketie.
