Hasn't been often for Pittsburgh to face Minnesota. This Thursday Night will be only the 19th meeting. These teams met in the Super Bowl back in the 70's. In 2021 Pittsburgh os 6-5-1, while Minnesota is fighting for a .500 record sitting at 5-7. Kirk Cousins vs. Ben Roethlisberger for the final time in their careers? Pittsburgh is 2-2-1 in their last 5 games and the Vikings? They are 2-3, losing to division rival Detroit on weel 13, giving the Lions their 1st victory of thes season in 12 attempts. Sad but shockingly true.
