The Pittsburgh Steelers have won four consecutive games heading into a pivotal AFC North matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, and running back Jaylen Warren believes the team’s culture has played a significant role in its success.

Warren praised the closeness of Pittsburgh’s locker room during Friday’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, pointing toward the chemistry that has developed throughout the Steelers’ 6-2 start.

“We’re all very close and we’re continuing to get close. I don’t think we can get any closer and I think it shows on Sundays with the way we play,” Warren said. “The culture here is great and you know, anybody that’s a part of it – newcomers, they hop on the moving train… It’s great over here.”

Pittsburgh’s recent results have supported Warren’s assessment. The Steelers have not lost since their 27-24 road defeat against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, responding with four consecutive victories to reach the midway point of their schedule at 6-2.

Warren has emerged as one of the driving forces behind that run.

The 28-year-old has rushed for 704 yards and two touchdowns on 119 carries through eight games, averaging 5.9 yards per attempt. He has also contributed 25 receptions for 294 yards and another touchdown, bringing him to 998 yards from scrimmage this season.

Warren delivered one of his best performances of the season in Pittsburgh’s most recent victory, a 27-6 win over Cleveland.

He rushed 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown, averaging 8.4 yards per carry while breaking off a season-long 51-yard run. Warren also caught one pass but did not gain any receiving yards. His 143 rushing yards matched his career high and marked his third game with at least 100 rushing yards over Pittsburgh’s last four contests.

The Steelers’ winning streak also includes victories over the Indianapolis Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. Warren recorded 188 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns against Indianapolis before producing 78 yards from scrimmage against Tampa Bay and 137 against New Orleans.

Pittsburgh will now attempt to carry that momentum into a divisional matchup with Cincinnati.

Warren already enjoyed significant success against the Bengals this season. He rushed for 127 yards on 17 carries and added three receptions for 49 yards in Pittsburgh’s 30-27 Week 3 victory, finishing with 176 yards from scrimmage.

The Steelers and Bengals both enter the rematch at 6-2, adding further importance to Sunday’s AFC North battle.

Pittsburgh will visit Cincinnati for Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
