Zabien Brown provided Alabama football with quite the ending to the first half of the 2025 edition of the ‘Third Saturday in October’ rivalry against No. 11 Tennessee.

Brown, the sophomore defensive back, made the Vols pay for their decision of going for it on the 1-yard line with 9 seconds remaining in the first half and facing a then-16-7 deficit, picking off Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar and taking it all the way down the field for a 99-yard pick-six touchdown return.

The pick-six from Brown gave Kalen DeBoer’s squad a 23-7 lead at halftime against their longtime SEC foe.

Watch: Zabien Brown gets 99-yard pick-six vs Tennessee

‘Obviously disappointed in that play,’ Tennessee coach Josh Heupel told ABC’s Molly McGrath going into halftime.

Here’s a look at Brown’s electric play in the final seconds of the first half:

Brown’s pick-six was the cherry on top of a stellar first half by the Crimson Tide’s defense, as Yhonzae Pierre helped Alabama record a safety at the 7:37 mark of the second quarter after he was credited with a sack on a pass rush of Aguilar in the end zone. The officials determined after a brief review that Aguilar committed an intentional grounding in the end zone, which resulted in a safety.

The Crimson Tide held the Vols to just 36 rushing yards in the first half.

If Alabama is able to keep its foot on the pedal and hold onto the lead, the Crimson Tide will continue their dominance at home in the ‘Third Saturday in October’ rivalry and pick up their fourth consecutive ranked win of the season.

  • MAVERIC Phase III pivotal trial of orphan drug candidate CardiolRx in recurrent pericarditis is fully funded through to a planned New Drug Application submission with the FDA.

  • New data from the ARCHER trial, highlighting the magnitude of reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass and the read through to heart failure, to be presented at a cardiology conference in November 2025.

  • Next-generation therapy CRD-38 for heart failure funded through to clinical development, with partnership discussions advancing with leading pharmaceutical companies.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) (‘Cardiol’ or the ‘Company’), a clinical-stage life sciences company advancing late-stage, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies for heart disease, today announced the successful completion of a private placement offering (the ‘Offering’) of units (‘Units’) for net proceeds of US$11 million. The initial closing of US$10 million has been completed, with the remaining US$1 million to close on Monday, October 20, 2025.

‘As recruitment in our pivotal Phase III MAVERIC trial gains momentum, with several prominent centers across the U.S. now enrolling patients, we are pleased to have secured a direct investment of US$11 million to strengthen our balance sheet and accelerate the development of our novel heart failure drug, CRD-38, based on the recently reported findings from our ARCHER trial,’ said David Elsley, President and CEO of Cardiol Therapeutics. ‘Topline results from our ARCHER trial demonstrated a significant reduction in LV mass-marking the first evidence of structural and remodeling improvement in patients with myocarditis. This landmark finding represents our second clinical validation in inflammatory heart disease and establishes a key translational link to data published earlier this year in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, which demonstrated the beneficial effects of the active pharmaceutical ingredient or API in CardiolRx on cardiac structure, inflammation, and fibrosis in a model of heart failure. The ARCHER findings support pursuing an additional Orphan Drug Designation for CardiolRx in myocarditis and advancing the development of our next-generation CRD-38 formulation, which delivers the same API via subcutaneous administration, to target the broader heart failure market. Notably, blockbuster drugs that reduce LV mass have been shown to lower heart failure-related death and hospitalization, underscoring the clinical potential of Cardiol’s differentiated anti-inflammatory mechanism to address a large unmet need in heart failure, where five-year mortality rates still exceed 50%.’

Under the Offering, the Company sold a total of 11 million Units at a price of US$1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A common share of the Company (a ‘Common Share‘) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of US$1.35 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The warrants include an acceleration provision, allowing the Company to advance their expiry to the 30th day following the issuance of a news release if the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares exceeds US$2.00 for five consecutive trading days. Proceeds from the Offering provide cash resources that are anticipated to support operations into the third quarter of 2027.

The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘U.S. Securities Act‘), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the ‘United States’ or ‘U.S. persons’ (as such terms are used in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable U.S. state securities laws or in compliance with an exemption therefrom. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Offering. Such participation is considered to be a ‘related-party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related-party participation in the Offering as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, and the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved interested parties, did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

This week was marked by strong, event-driven volatility across the tech sector.

Market moves were shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure announcements, semiconductor earnings, signals of macroeconomic stress and escalating tensions between the US and China.

Effects of the US government shutdown, coupled with renewed trade tensions between the world’s largest tech markets, weighed on global equities. Quarterly results from regional banks eased earlier concerns about credit risks after Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ:ZION) and Western Alliance (NYSE:WAL) disclosed loan issues related to apparent fraud.

Wall Street ultimately saw weekly gains, despite a midweek selloff that impacted high-value, high-risk sectors.

Hardware and infrastructure were the core positive contributors in the tech sector, reflecting the ongoing AI supercycle investment theme fueled by chip production and data center buildouts.

Semiconductor stocks were the standout performers, boosted by record earnings reports from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (NYSE:TSM) on Tuesday (October 14) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) on Wednesday (October 15). Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) also rose alongside TSMC, contributing to PHLX Semiconductor Sector’s (INDEXNASDAQ:SOX) 1.2 percent rebound on Thursday (October 16).

Advanced Micro Devices’ (NASDAQ:AMD) deal with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) to deploy 50,000 GPUs, which was announced the same day as TSMC’s earnings, added a competitive dynamic that sparked selective volatility among chipmakers; at the same time, it underscored strong AI-driven hardware demand across the sector.

In consumer hardware, Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) product launch was notable, but not the primary market mover.

Data centers also had a big impact, highlighted by Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) US$14 billion Texas AI data center partnership with Nscale, and Brookfield Asset Management’s (TSX:BAM,NYSE:BAM) US$5 billion investment in Bloom Energy’s (NYSE:BE) fuel cell technology for powering AI-focused data centers. Oracle is forecasting acceleration in its AI data center business, indicating expanding hardware-backed infrastructure demand

Software and cloud-native company movements were more mixed, with gains from Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), but declines from others like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR).

3 tech stocks that moved markets this week

1. Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO)

Broadcom shares surged nearly 10 percent on Monday (October 13) after OpenAI announced a multi-year agreement to co-develop custom AI GPUs. The collaboration will focus on deploying 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators designed by OpenAI and built by Broadcom, with deployment set to start in H2 2026 and continue through 2029.

Later, multiple reports emerged citing individuals claiming that OpenAI is also partnering with Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) to produce custom CPUs to work alongside its Broadcom co-designed chip.

Shares of Arm also advanced by over 11 percent.

2. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)

Oracle and AMD also announced a major partnership this week, where Oracle will deploy 50,000 AMD-powered MI450 GPUs in its cloud infrastructure starting in the third quarter of 2026, with plans for ongoing expansion.

AMD’s share price rose by over 9 percent on the news, with the deal creating competitive pressure for rival chipmakers like NVIDIA. Meanwhile, Oracle shares declined by almost 7 percent on Friday (October 17) after the firm’s CEO, Clay Magouryk, provided an upbeat projection to analysts, indicating that the deployment of 50,000 AMD-powered MI450 GPUs will significantly accelerate Oracle’s AI business growth.

However, analysts highlighted the potential for a significantly high CAPEX, possibly leading to negative free cashflow totaling more than US$26 billion over the next three fiscal years.

3. Salesforce (NYSE:CRM)

Shares of Salesforce rose by almost 4 percent on Thursday after the company announced a revenue target of US$60 billion by 2030 during its Investor Day at Dreamforce event on Wednesday.

Salesforce plans to achieve this ambitious target through accelerated adoption of AI-powered cloud platforms and ongoing innovation in enterprise software services, as well as expanded use of generative AI across its CRM, analytics, and automation suites.

This week, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) advanced by 1.94 percent, while the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXQ) saw a weekly gain of 1.66 percent.

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) increased by 1.59 percent.

These modest gains occurred against a backdrop of heightened volatility, indicating ongoing optimism in the long-term growth of the semiconductor industry.

            The Government of Ontario started taking applications for resource development projects under its “One Project, One Process” framework on Friday (October 17).

            The new process, which Ontario lawmakers introduced in the spring, promises to streamline and reduce the permitting time for selected projects by at least half, introducing a dedicated office to consolidate applications. Under the current system, the permitting process can add up to 15 years to a project’s development cycle, the government stated.

            In addition to supporting Ontario’s mining industry, the new framework is also a reaction to policy shifts in the United States under the Trump administration, as his tariff policy affects the Ontario and Canadian economies.

            “With President Trump taking direct aim at our economy, it has never been more important to protect Ontario jobs and build the mines that will power our future,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines.

            The new policy is similar to the national one introduced by Prime Minister Mark Carney in September. That program, which created the Major Projects Office, is geared to support investment and permitting for projects deemed to be in the national interest. The initiative was part of his election platform earlier in the year in response to Trump’s tariffs on imports of Canadian goods.

            In a speech to the Peterson Institute of International Economics on Thursday (October 16), Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem stated that Canada’s growth outlook remains “soft.”

            He identified several trends that are affecting Canadian and global economies. The first is a slowing of global trade that began in 2010, which then accelerated as Trump increased tariff rates to the highest levels since the 1930s.

            The second is a shift away from the US as the world’s largest trading hub, as supply chains strengthen in China and Europe, creating new hubs there. Macklem also noted that, while the US remains dominant in global finance, investors have expressed uncertainty due to its declining trade position and increasing debt load.

            For Canada, Macklem said the tariffs have affected cross-border trade and stymied investment into Canadian industries, weakening gross domestic product growth.

            Although it’s uncertain if the Bank of Canada will cut its rate when it makes its next policy decision on October 29, Macklem said, “Monetary policy cannot undo the damage of tariffs.” Instead, he suggested that Canada needs to lower barriers to interprovincial trade and focus on projects that increase the export of Canadian goods overseas.

            South of the border, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave a speech on Tuesday (October 14) to the National Association of Business Economics in Philadelphia. In his remarks, he said the outlook for the jobs market and inflation has not changed since September, and signaled the likelihood of another rate cut when the Federal Open Market Committee meets on October 28 and 29.

            In the days following Powell’s remarks, the price of gold surged to a new record high of US$4,379.13 on Thursday, and silver rose to a new record of US$54.40 per ounce. Both have since retreated, but remain elevated.

            Take a look at this week’s five best-performing Canadian mining stocks below.

            Stocks data for this article was retrieved at 4:00 p.m. EDT on Friday using TradingView’s stock screener. Only companies trading on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market caps greater than C$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered.

            1. JZR Gold (TSXV:JZR)

            Weekly gain: 112.77 percent
            Market cap: C$28.95 million
            Share price: C$0.50

            JZR Gold is a gold company with exposure to the Vila Nova gold project, located in Amapá, Brazil, through a joint venture royalty agreement with the project’s operator, ECO Mining Oil & Gaz Drilling and Exploration.

            JZR received a 50 percent net profit interest in the Vila Nova project following the completion of payments totaling US$6 million to ECO in January 2023. The funds were used to advance the project and construct an 800 metric ton per day bulk sampling gravimetric mill at the site.

            According to JZR, the funding is considered a loan and will be “repaid to the Company from the proceeds of the sale of any products, prior to the distribution of any profits.”

            The project holds approximately 9 million metric tons of gold tailings grading an average of 2.47 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold from historic operations. The companies plan to reprocess the tailings to generate near-term cash flow that will fund further exploration at the site, anticipating production of 2 kilograms of gold per day.

            Shares gained this week alongside the October 14 news that ECO produced the first gold concentrate from the Vila Nova gold project’s mill. JZR said that ECO has begun to stockpile material at the mill site as it continues testing and optimization, with the goal of improving efficiency and increasing throughput.

The mine had been on care and maintenance since 2019, during which time Austral worked on exploration at the site, along with its refurbishment plan to restart operations.

            Shares in Austral rose this week following a pair of announcements on Tuesday.

            The first was a report that Austral has resumed production at Casposo, currently sourcing material from the existing stockpiles. The company said it plans to transition to open-pit mining and is in negotiations with a contractor to finalize an agreement.

            The company produced 230 gold equivalent ounces of doré during the commissioning phase, which began in December 2024, according to the release. It expects Casposo to produce 4,000 to 6,000 gold equivalent ounces during Q4.

            In the other release, Austral provided an updated mineral reserve estimate for Casposo reporting proven and probable gold contained to be 80,000 ounces of gold and 3.28 million ounces of silver with average grades of 1.31 g/t gold and 58.52 g/t silver from 2.15 million metric tons of ore.

            FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

            What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

            The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

            How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

            As of May 2025, there were 1,565 companies listed on the TSXV, 910 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,899 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

            Together, the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

            How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

            There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

            The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

            These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

            How do you trade on the TSXV?

            Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

(TSXV: FYL,OTC:FYMNF) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (‘Finlay’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the ‘Private Placement’), previously announced on October 6, 2025, consisting of the issuance of: (i) 10,633,999 flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘FT Unit’) at a price of $0.15 per FT Unit, and (ii) 883,000 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘NFT Unit’) at a price of $0.13 per NFT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,709,890.

            MILAN — Giorgio Armani has appointed deputy managing director Giuseppe Marsocci as chief executive with immediate effect, the Italian fashion house said on Thursday, confirming media reports.

            Marsocci, who has been with the company for 23 years, serving as global chief commercial officer for the past six years, steps into the role previously held by founder Giorgio Armani, who died in September.

            Armani kept a tight grip on the fashion empire he set up 50 years ago, but a new structure is emerging for its next phase.

            Marsocci will oversee the planned sale of a 15% stake, with priority to be given to the luxury conglomerate LVMH.PA, beauty heavyweight L’Oreal OREP.PA, eyewear leader EssilorLuxottica ESLX.PA or another group of “equal standing,” as outlined in Armani’s will.

            “His international professional experience, deep knowledge of the sector and the company, discretion, loyalty, and team spirit, together with his closeness to Mr. Armani in recent years, make Giuseppe the most natural choice to ensure continuity with the path outlined by the founder,” said Armani‘s partner and head of men’s design, Pantaleo Dell’Orco, who has taken on the role of chairman.

            Dell’Orco has also recently been appointed to chair the Giorgio Armani Foundation, which controls 30% of the voting rights of his business empire. Dell’Orco already controls 40% of the luxury group’s voting rights.

            The appointment of Marsocci, 61, was unanimously proposed by the Giorgio Armani Foundation, the luxury group said.

            Giorgio Armani’s niece Silvana, head of women’s style, will be appointed vice president, according to the statement.

            Quarterback is the most important position in American sports. Making your mark at that position is a better way to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame than any other.

            Iconic passers like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and John Elway stand out for their success and production on the field. They’ve taken their turns atop the career leaderboard for many statistics.

            Brady sits in first for many statistics including career passing yards. At more than 89,214 yards, he covered more than 50 miles worth of distance on the football field.

            On ‘Thursday Night Football’ in Week 7 one of the best quarterbacks of his generation – Aaron Rodgers – moved up a spot in that category.

            Rodgers and the 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers went on the road on a short week to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

            Rodgers, 41, needed a less-than-average night to move up to the top-five all-time in career passing yards. He more than did enough on Thursday in southern Ohio to reach that exclusive club on a pass in the second quarter to running back Jaylen Warren.

            Here’s who makes up the top 15 in career passing yards as Rodgers narrows his gap to the top:

            NFL career passing yards list

            1. Tom Brady: 89,214
            2. Drew Brees: 80,358
            3. Peyton Manning: 71,940
            4. Brett Favre: 71,838
            5. Aaron Rodgers*: 64,106
            6. Ben Roethlisberger: 64,088
            7. Philip Rivers: 63,440
            8. Matt Ryan: 62,792
            9. Matthew Stafford*: 61,493
            10. Dan Marino: 61,361

            Many believed the Cincinnati Bengals were dead and buried after the team lost four straight games following Joe Burrow’s significant turf toe injury.

            Instead, Joe Flacco breathed life into the team by leading them to a 33-31 ‘Thursday Night Football’ upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers in his second start with the team.

            Flacco and the Bengals played with poise Cincinnati’s offense hadn’t shown since Burrow exited the team’s Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 40-year-old veteran demonstrated great chemistry with Ja’Marr Chase (16 catches, 161 yards, one touchdown) and Tee Higgins (six catches, 96 yards, one touchdown) throughout Thursday’s contest.

            Meanwhile, the rest of Cincinnati’s offense played with a level of desperation it hadn’t previously shown, knowing another loss could do considerable damage to their playoff chances even at this early stage in the 2025 NFL season.

            Now 3-4, the Bengals are just a game-and-a-half back of the Steelers in the AFC North race. They will get a chance to claw their way back to .500 in Week 8, when the Bengals face a New York Jets squad that has yet to win a game.

            As for the Steelers, they’ll go back to the drawing board, knowing Aaron Rodgers’ two-interception outing coupled with a poor defensive performance cost them an opportunity to keep the Bengals buried.

            USA TODAY Sports provided live updates, highlights and more from this week’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ matchup below:

            Bengals vs. Steelers takeaways

            • Joe 2.0: Maybe Joe Burrow was sharing some of his secret stuff. Joe Flacco did exactly what he should have done: Take advantage of the weapons at his disposal. Big games from both Chase and Higgins helped resuscitate the Bengals offense, and that should give Cincy fans a modicum of hope while Burrow recovers.
            • Throwback Thursday: While Aaron Rodgers wasn’t quite vintage in this performance, he did move up the NFL’s career passing yards leader list, surpassing Ben Roethlisberger for fifth place all time.
            • Mike drop? Mike Tomlin now has a relatively curious record on ‘Thursday Night Football.’ The Steelers head coach is 0-7 on the road vs. AFC North opponents on Thursdays, which is oddly specific and probably apropos of nothing. Still, 0-7 vs. anyone in any situation isn’t necessarily a positive.

            Bengals vs. Steelers highlights

            Bengals win after Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary knocked down

            Rodgers’ 41-year-old arm still has plenty of juice, as the quarterback heaved a 70-yard prayer to the end zone. But the pass was knocked down just inside the goal line, giving Cincinnati the stunning win on Thursday night.

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Evan McPherson puts Cincy ahead late

            Thanks to Higgins’ play, a few kneel downs and a short field goal off of Evan McPherson’s foot puts the Bengals up with seven seconds left in regulation.

            Bengals 33, Steelers 31

            Tee Higgins makes high-IQ play

            The Bengals wide receiver hauled in a pass from Joe Flacco and had a clear lane to the end zone – but Higgins slid short of the goal line, forcing the Steelers into a predicament.

            By sliding short of the end zone, the Steelers are forced to use one of their two remaining timeouts. That will allow the Steelers to kneel out the clock, leaving roughly 10 seconds until they have to try a chip-shot field goal to take the lead.

            Steelers take lead after Aaron Rodgers hits Pat Freiermuth for 68-yard TD

            For the first time since they led 10-7, the Steelers are back on top. The Bengals lost Freiermuth in coverage and allowed him to catch a deep ball from Rodgers on a second-and-20 and run untouched into the end-zone.

            Chris Boswell made the extra point, and the Steelers are now winning 31-30 with 2:21 left in regulation.

            Steelers force Bengals punt, get ball back with 2:46 remaining

            T.J. Watt finally got more pressure on Joe Flacco, which helped the Steelers force the Bengals to punt. The Steelers get the ball back to their 42-yard line after a nice return by Ke’Shawn Williams with a chance to mount a potential game-winning TD drive.

            Joe Flacco rushes for 12 yards on second-and-10

            The Bengals pulled out a bold play on second-and-10 from their own territory. They ran a zone read with Flacco, a 40-year-old not known for his mobility. 

            It worked to perfection, as no Steelers players expected Flacco to run, allowing him to pick up the first down.

            Steelers forced to punt after Pat Freiermuth can’t haul in third-and-4 pass

            The Steelers went three-and-out following Cincinnati’s field goal. Aaron Rodgers tried to throw a quick strike to Freiermuth on third-and-4, but the tight end couldn’t bring it in amid tight coverage.

            Corliss Waitman’s punt was a good one, checking up at the 9-yard line and being downed at the 10. The Steelers will need to quickly stop the Bengals, who are leading 30-24 with 5:16 left in regulation, to get another shot to mount a game-tying drive.

            Ja’Marr Chase stats today

            Chase has benefitted greatly from playing with Joe Flacco. The star receiver has been targeted 19 times, the most of any player in a game this season, and has made 14 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown.

            Steelers defense limits Bengals to field goal

            The Steelers let Joe Flacco and Ja’Marr Chase move down the field, but they ultimately came up with a key stop after Joey Porter Jr. had tight coverage on Tee Higgins on third-and-13.

            Evan McPherson came on to attempt a 45-yard field goal. He makes it, putting the Bengals up 30-24 with 6:58 left in regulation.

            Bengals 30, Steelers 24

            Darnell Washington catches 2-yard TD from Aaron Rodgers

            The Steelers have scored three touchdowns on Thursday. All have been by tight ends, with the 6-7, 264-pound Washington joining Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith as scorers on a middle-of-the-field strike from Rodgers.

            Chris Boswell’s extra point is good, and Cincinnati’s lead is down to 27-24 with 11:03 left in regulation.

            Bengals 27, Steelers 24

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Joe Flacco hits Noah Fant for TD to open fourth quarter

            Flacco continues to look sharp, capping off an 8-play, 67-yard drive with a pass over the middle of the field to the wide-open Fant.

            Evan McPherson makes the extra point and takes a 27-17 lead with 14:57 left in regulation.

            Bengals will face key third-and-goal to open fourth quarter, leading 20-17

            The third quarter saw the Steelers cut into the Bengals’ lead thanks to an impressive third-and-18 touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Pat Freiermuth, but Cincinnati continues to move the ball with ease against Pittsburgh’s defense.

            When the fourth quarter opens, Joe Flacco and Co. will be facing a third-and-goal from the 5-yard line. The Bengals are outgaining the Steelers 345-244 and are winning the turnover battle 2-0.

            Steelers cut into Bengals lead with 19-yard TD pass to Pat Freiermuth

            The Steelers were facing a third-and-18 when Aaron Rodgers finally decided to throw a pass to the intermediate portion of the field. He got time to throw and managed to rip one up the seam to Pat Freiermuth, who was open and managed to catch the score with ease.

            Chris Boswell’s extra point is good and the Bengals are now leading 20-17.

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Evan McPherson field goal lengthens lead

            The Steelers managed to keep the Bengals out of the end-zone on third-and-goal, but McPherson drilled a 23-yard field goal with ease to extend the Bengals’ run of unanswered points to 20.

            The Bengals are now up 20-10 and at up more than seven minutes of the third quarter on their first drive of the half. They have already possessed the ball for 21:45, and should be able to continue wearing out the Steelers’ defense.

            Bengals 20, Steelers 10

            Joe Flacco pushes ahead for 1-yard gain on fourth down

            The Bengals convert their fourth down opportunity after the unsuccessful challenge. Flacco simply pushed ahead for a 1-yard gain on a quarterback sneak to create a first-and-goal opportunity.

            Zac Taylor unsuccessfully challenges spot on Andre Iosivas catch

            Iosivas was tackled a yard short of the line to gain on a third-and-7 catch. The Bengals lined up to go for it on fourth-and-1, but just one second before the play clock expired, Taylor challenged the spot.

            A review revealed Iosivas was, in fact, short of the line to gain, costing the Bengals a timeout. The team had been planning to run a QB sneak with Joe Flacco before the stoppage, so it will be interesting to see if they choose that path again.

            Aaron Rodgers stats at halftime

            Rodgers started the game strong but threw a couple of interceptions in the second half. Overall, he has completed 13 of 19 passes for 118 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

            Rodgers continues to have trouble pushing the ball down the field. If he can’t more consistently find and hit his targets in the intermediate-to-deep part of the field, the Bengals will continue to sit on the short routes.

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Evan McPherson makes field goal for halftime lead

            After a slow start, the Bengals have dominated the Steelers. Cincinnati has scored 17 unanswered points while forcing Aaron Rodgers into multiple interceptions.

            Joe Flacco has been in rhythm all night, completing 14 of 21 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. He has shown great chemistry with Ja’Marr Chase, who has seven catches for 61 yards and a touchdown, and Tee Higgins, who racked up three catches for 54 yards and a score.

            Meanwhile, Chase Brown has had his best day of the season on the ground already, generating 74 yards on just five carries.

            The Steelers defense will need to button things up in the second half after allowing three consecutive scoring drives to close the first half. If they can’t, Flacco and the Bengals will have a chance to snap a four-game losing streak and get back in the AFC North race.

            DJ Turner rips interception out of DK Metcalf’s hands

            The Bengals have created another big-time turnover. Aaron Rodgers nearly had a first-down completion to Metcalf, but the veteran receiver had the ball ripped out of his hands as he was going to the ground.

            Turner managed to gain control of the ball and get a knee down in bounds. The Bengals will now have 40 seconds to mount a scoring drive before halftime. They have one timeout remaining.

            Aaron Rodgers climbs to 5th on the NFL’s all-time passing list, passing Ben Roethlisberger

            Rodgers has officially climbed ahead of Roethlisberger, a Steelers legend, on the NFL’s all-time passing list after his 15-yard completion to Jaylen Warren.

            Below is a look at Rodgers’ present ranking on the passing list:

            1. Tom Brady: 89,214
            2. Drew Brees: 80,358
            3. Peyton Manning: 71,940
            4. Brett Favre: 71,838
            5. Aaron Rodgers: 64,089

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Joe Flacco hits Tee Higgins for 29-yard TD

            Flacco and the Bengals offense are starting to heat up. After the interception, the 40-year-old veteran managed to move Cincinnati down the field in a hurry. Chase Brown had a 37-yard carry but the drive was capped off by a strike to Tee Higgins, which saw the 6-4 wideout run straight up the middle after the catch to get into the end zone untouched.

            Evan McPherson makes the extra point, and the Bengals are ahead for the first time of the evening, 14-10.

            Aaron Rodgers tosses deep-ball interception after overthrowing DK Metcalf

            Rodgers tried to create a big play down the field to Metcalf, but the Bengals had quality double-coverage on the play. 

            Safety Jordan Battle came over the top to make the interception and had a nice return. However, the return was nullified after review, as Metcalf managed to touch Battle on the helmet as he went to the ground.

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Ja’Marr Chase gets Bengals on board with 8-yard TD from Joe Flacco

            One play after dropping a potential touchdown, Chase was able to beat Jalen Ramsey for a score. Flacco managed to drop the lob pass in the bucket to him to get the Bengals on the board.

            Evan McPherson makes the extra point and the Steelers’ lead is down to 10-7.

            Steelers 10, Bengals 7

            Joe Flacco threads pass to Ja’Marr Chase in end-zone, but WR can’t complete catch

            Flacco made a near-perfect throw to Chase in the end-zone, but the veteran receiver wasn’t able to secure the ball going to the ground. He was clipped by Chuck Clark in a tight window, which caused him to be unable to secure the pass.

            Originally, the officials ruled Chase’s catch a touchdown but it was overturned after an expedited review.

            Ja’Marr Chase turns juggling catch into 8 yards

            Chase nearly had a bad drop on a quick pass from Joe Flacco. Instead, he juggled it a few times and reeled it in, with his final bobble actually preventing him from being hit hard by cornerback Darius Slay.

            How old is Aaron Rodgers?

            The Steelers passer is 41 years old, and turns 42 on Dec. 2. He’s the oldest active player in the NFL.

            Bengals vs. Steelers score: Pittsburgh settles for field goal

            The Steelers got into a fourth-and-1 scenario and were poised to go for it. They were going to attempt a ‘Tush Push’ with tight end Connor Heyward, but the right side of Pittsburgh’s line jumped early.

            After the penalty, Chris Boswell trotted out for a 41-yard field goal attempt. He nailed it to give the Steelers a 10-0 lead.

            Steelers 10, Bengals 0

            Jaylen Warren TD run wiped out by holding penalty

            The Steelers briefly appeared to be in the end zone for a second time after a nice cut-back by Warren, but center Zach Frazier was penalized for holding on the play. The Steelers will now face a second-and-11 instead of doubling their lead.

            Steelers leading Bengals 7-0 after strong first-quarter showing

            The Steelers clearly have the advantage over the Bengals after 15 minutes. Pittsburgh has out-gained Cincinnati 122-44, as the Bengals have been unable to get any semblance of pressure on Aaron Rodgers without Trey Hendrickson.

            Rodgers has completed 7 of 11 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. He has been able to extend plays on multiple occasions, including one where he had 8.63 seconds to throw before finding Jonnu Smith for a touchdown.

            Meanwhile, Joe Flacco has shown well considering he has been in Cincinnati for just 10 days. He has completed 4 of 8 passes for 36 yards but has been victimized by a couple of drops from Chase Brown and Andre Iosivas.

            The Steelers will have the ball to start the second quarter and are already nearing Chris Boswell’s field goal range.

            Steelers force another punt after critical Chase Brown, Andre Iosivas drops

            The Bengals aren’t helping Joe Flacco much thus far tonight. Flacco did a great job sniffing out a first-and-10 blitz and delivered a perfect checkdown to Brown. The back would’ve had running room, but he failed to reel in the well-thrown pass.

            Then, on third-and-11, Iosivas dropped a pass that hit him in the hands, forcing another Bengals punt.

            Making matters worse, the Bengals ran into Steelers return man Ke’Shawn Williams while he tried to make a fair catch, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. Pittsburgh will get the ball at its own 27-yard line instead of its 12 as a result.

            Steelers go three-and-out on second possession

            The Steelers weren’t able to replicate the success they enjoyed during their first drive. They gained six yards on a dump-off to DK Metcalf but followed that up with back-to-back incompletions, including a flea flicker the Bengals snuffed out.

            Corliss Waitman’s punt went 39 yards and pinned the Bengals at their own 17-yard line to start their second drive.

            Was Andrew Whitworth on the Bengals?

            Andrew Whitworth was a second-round pick for the Bengals in the 2006 NFL Draft. He quickly developed into a starter for them at left tackle, spending the 2006 through 2016 seasons in Cincinnati.

            Whitworth spent the final five seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Rams and won Super Bowl 56 against the Bengals in his final NFL game.

            Who did Joe Flacco play for?

            Flacco played for the Cleveland Browns in 2025 before being traded to the Bengals. Below is a look at the full career timeline for the 40-year-old quarterback.

            • Baltimore Ravens (2008-18)
            • Denver Broncos (2019)
            • New York Jets (2020)
            • Philadelphia Eagles (2021)
            • New York Jets (2021-22)
            • Cleveland Browns (2023)
            • Indianapolis Colts (2024)
            • Cleveland Browns (2025)
            • Cincinnati Bengals (2025)

            Bengals forced to punt after first drive

            Joe Flacco hit Tee Higgins on an impressive, 18-yard strike to convert a third-and-long and avoid a three-and-out, but a couple of nice tackles by DeShon Elliott and Juan Thornhill didn’t allow Cincinnati to advance further.

            Ryan Rehkow’s punt traveled just 37 yards and Ke’Shawn Williams returned it 10 yards to the Steelers 26-yard line.

            Steelers vs. Bengals score: Aaron Rodgers finds Jonnu Smith for 10-yard TD

            The absence of Trey Hendrickson showed up in a big way on the Bengals’ first defensive drive. Rodgers had a whopping 8.63 seconds to through on a third-and-6 in the red-zone before finding tight end Jonnu Smith open in the end-zone for a score.

            Chris Boswell made the extra point, giving the Steelers an early 7-0 lead on the road in Cincinnati.

            What year was Joe Flacco drafted?

            Flacco was selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. The Baltimore Ravens chose the Delaware product 18th overall, making him the second quarterback selected after No. 3 overall pick Matt Ryan.

            What year was Aaron Rodgers drafted?

            Aaron Rodgers was selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. The Green Bay Packers made him the 24th overall selection in that year’s draft after one of the most notable draft slides in NFL history.

            Many expected Rodgers to be the No. 1 overall pick, but the San Francisco 49ers instead spent the top selection on Alex Smith.

            Darnell Washington size, height and weight

            Washington – who has started the last three games for the Steelers at tight end – is listed at 6-7, 264 pounds on the Steelers’ official website. His size makes him a mismatch threat at the position and should eventually turn him into a threatening red-zone weapon.

            Steelers vs. Bengals kickoff time

            • Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET | 7:15 p.m. CT

            The Bengals and Steelers are set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday night. That’s the traditional start time for ‘TNF.’

            Is Joe Burrow playing tonight?

            No, Burrow is not playing in Week 7. He isn’t expected to return to the field until mid-December after suffering a severe turf toe injury in the Bengals’ Week 2 win over the Jaguars.

            That said, Burrow is expected to be on the sidelines for Thursday’s divisional clash, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

            Did Joe Flacco win a Super Bowl?

            Yes, Joe Flacco won Super Bowl 47 following the 2012 NFL season with the Baltimore Ravens. 

            Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 267 yards and a three touchdowns during the game, a 34-31 victory for John Harbaugh’s Ravens over the San Francisco 49ers, then coached by Jim Harbaugh. Flacco was named Super Bowl MVP after posting a 124.2 passer rating during the game.

            When will Joe Burrow return?

            Burrow had surgery to repair a Grade 3 turf toe injury he suffered against the Jaguars. He is expected to miss a minimum of three months because of the injury.

            That said, the exact timetable for Burrow’s return remains unclear. The Bengals have not provided one since the 28-year-old signal-caller got hurt, as Zac Taylor merely made reporters aware Burrow would need surgery to repair the malady.

            The three-month timeline would put Burrow on track to return at some point in December at the earliest – barring any setbacks.

            Bengals vs. Steelers prediction

            Joe Flacco certainly will do his best to make the most use of the Bengals’ weapons in his second go of it in their offense, but their issues extend far beyond the quarterback position. Cincinnati has had a tough time getting to the passer this year, while Aaron Rodgers has made a habit of getting rid of the ball quickly. That makes for a tough recipe for Cincinnati to defend, even at home. The Steelers win this one by a touchdown.

            The Cincinnati Bengals snapped a four-game losing streak in a 33-31 upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers on ‘Thursday Night Football.’

            Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase was chasing history throughout the critical victory, which prevented the Steelers from taking a commanding lead in the AFC North standings.

            How good was Chase in the Bengals’ win over the Steelers? Here’s a look at his stats from the game.

            Ja’Marr Chase stats today

            Flacco attempted 47 passes during the Bengals’ Week 7 win over the Steelers. Chase was targeted on a whopping 23 of those attempts, good for a 48.9% target share and the most targets a player has seenin a single game during the 2025 NFL season to date.

            Below is a full look at Chase’s numbers from the contest:

            • Targets: 23
            • Receptions: 16
            • Receiving yards: 161
            • Receiving TDs: 1
            • Yards per reception: 10.1

            Chase’s 16 catches were the most he has posted across his 69 career NFL starts and set a new franchise record for the Bengals. The previous franchise record also belonged to Chase, occurring when he had 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in 2023.

            Most receptions in an NFL game

            While Chase owns the Bengals franchise record for most receptions in a game, he couldn’t climb to the top of the NFL’s all-time list. Brandon Marshall still remains perched alone atop that list from his 21-catch game with the Denver Broncos in 2009.

            Still, Chase’s 16 catches were good enough to crack the top-10 leaderboard, albeit it in a nine-way tie for ninth place. Below is a look at the players to log at least 16 receptions in an NFL game.

            • Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos (2009): 21
            • Terrell Owens, San Francisco 49ers (2000): 20
            • Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers (2023): 18
            • Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys (2018): 18
            • Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos (2008): 18
            • Tom Fears, Los Angeles Rams (1950): 18
            • Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers (2015): 17
            • Clark Gaines, New York Jets (1980): 17
            • Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals (2025): 16
            • Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers (2020): 16
            • Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints (2018): 16
            • Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers (2015): 16
            • Wes Welker, New England Patriots (2011): 16
            • Troy Brown, New England Patriots (2002): 16
            • Keenan McCardell, Jacksonville Jaguars (1996): 16
            • Jerry Rice, San Francisco 49ers (1994): 16
