Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addresses the media ahead of his team's Week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Paycor Stadium on CBS (Local12/WKRC-TV).

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin seems to be specifically focused on his team competing against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who in Tomlin's mind is having an "MVP-caliber" season even if the team is only 4–7. Tomlin paid Burrow this high compliment when discussing this weekend's matchup.

However, a new concern arises for the Bengals as Burrow claimed he "isn’t sure how his wrist will feel" in cold weather games, according to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Burrow suffered a ligament in his wrist on Nov. 16, 2023, during the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has yet to play in a cold weather game this season and he spoke honestly about the uncertainty he’s facing ahead of Sunday’s game with freezing temperatures expected.
