The Tennessee Titans (3-4) are set to clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) in a prime-time showdown on Thursday Night Football. The game kicks off at Acrisure Stadium, which can accommodate 68,400 passionate fans, at 7:15 p.m. CDT/8:15 p.m. EDT on November 2.

This Thursday night encounter marks the 81st historic face-off between the Titans and the Steelers, harking back to their days as fierce rivals in the AFC Central Division. No other opponent in Titans/Oilers history has crossed paths with the franchise more times than the Steelers. These two gridiron titans have previously met on Thursday nights, with a perfectly balanced record of two wins each. Adding an intriguing twist to the narrative, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel returns to Pittsburgh for the second time as a head coach, reprising his journey from player to coach. Vrabel, once a third-round pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, enjoyed four seasons as a player with the Steelers, creating a unique bond with the Steel City.
