STEELERS-BENGALS SERIES

The Steelers lead the all-time series, 71-39-0, though recently, the series has been very even. The teams have split the last four games in the rivalry dating back to the 2020 season. The Steelers swept the Bengals last season, and Cincinnati swept in 2021, with the road teams winning in 2022 and the home teams winning in 2020.

Most of this series has intermittent periods of domination, usually by Pittsburgh. Before this stretch, the Steelers had won 11 in a row in the series, for example. Cincinnati went 15-6 against the Steelers from 1980-90.
