Pittsburgh’s game against Philly ushers in the start of an 11-day gauntlet against three of the league’s best in the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs.
I think the key will be Alex Highsmith, the edge-rusher opposite T.J. Watt, and how he lines up against the Eagles mobile quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Jalen gets out of the pocket, and can make stuff happen, but luckily, we’ve got one of the best run-defenses in the league to keep tabs on Saquan Barkley, which should make containing Hurts a (slightly) easier task.
Russell Wilson is playing some great football, and has chemistry with his wide-outs. Last few games he’s been able to distribute the ball to like 9 different receivers, for some big chunk plays. If we get our best WR, Pickens, back and healthy for this game, then I think it’ll be a tight Steelers win. If not, then we may drop this one, but I imagine it’ll be a one-score game regardless.

Really hoping AJ has a game like he did last time the birds played the Steelers to shut up this media manufactured (imo) locker room controversy.
