Thursday Night Football this week features AFC North rivals, and is just the second time in NFL history that the two starting quarterbacks were both 40 years old or older.

The Joe Flacco (40) led Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) face the Aaron Rodgers (41) led Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) in this TNF duel. 

Both 40-year-old quarterbacks stepped into their role differently. Rodgers has been the starter for the Steelers since the beginning of the year, while Flacco took over the starting role in Cincinnati two weeks ago when he was traded from the Cleveland Browns.

Rogers has the Steelers on a three-game win streak, while Flacco is in the midst of a Bengals four-game losing streak. Flacco’s 2-touchdown effort in his first game with the Bengals couldn’t help them from losing 27-18 to the Green Bay Packers.
