Today's Bengals vs Steelers live stream features an AFC North rival that could lack the same firepower as Ben Roethlisberger is nursing a pectoral injury. Meanwhile, Cincinnati looks to bounce back from last week's loss in Chicago with this NFL live stream.

"I'm going to do everything I can [to play Sunday]," that's what 38-year-old Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told the media Wednesday about his pectoral muscle injury. He said he injured it early last week against the Raiders (26-17), but played through it. The injury would help explain the 27-40 passing on the day, and although he was only sacked twice, he took 10 quarterback hits in the loss. If Ben is unavailable Sunday, backup Mason Rudolph will start.

Whoever is under center for the Steelers (1-1) on Sunday, they will likely be looking for rookie running back Najee Harris to run the ball. The first-round pick has struggled through his first two NFL games, averaging 3.2 yards per carry and is not even in the top 40 among NFL runners. The receiving game has helped, though. Last week he caught five passes for 43 yards and his first NFL touchdown.

The Bengals (1-1) are rallying after a tough loss in which second-year quarterback Joe Burrow had three consecutive interceptions. The first of those was returned for a touchdown. Burrow would rally to throw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, but it was a little too little too late as they took a 20-17 loss to the Bears.

Inactives include:

Bengals WR Tee Higgins, OT Fred Johnson, CB Nick McLeod, DT Tyler Shelvin, OG Xavier Suáfilo, CB Trey Wayans

Steelers OT Rashard Coward, DT Carlos Davis, QB Dwayne Haskins, LB Alex Highsmith, WR Dionte Johnson, LB T.J. Watt, CB Akello Witherspoon

Barrow scored a touchdown for the second straight week against Jamar Chase. The rookie wideout caught 7 passes for 155 yards and 2 scores in the first two weeks.

The Steelers are 3-point home favorites against the Bengals. The over/under is 43.5.

Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games while the NFL Network continues to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.

Sling TV does not have CBS (at least without AirTV), so while it is one of our favorite services, it is not ideal for football fans.
