Summary
What year is it??? Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco just torched the Pittsburgh Steelers defense en route to a Thursday Night Football victory, but even the losing QB Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock and showed flashes of his former self. Gregg Rosenthal and Nick Shook recap one of the most nostalgic, memorable nights in recent NFL history, where two titans of the quarterback position battled it out in prime time. From the Bengals prospects as a playoff contender to serious defensive worries for the Steelers, the NFL Daily duo has you covered on every major storyline from TNF. Plus, Gregg and Shook clarify 16 teams — 8 from each conference — that they believe could make it to the Super Bowl in February.
