Heading to Pittsburgh after the mini-bye to fight them for control of the division.

Steelers in their first division game in week 11 of this season. Ravens and Bengals have already played each other twice lol.

Big game in the middle of the year.
 
With the way how Lamar has played this season, he owes us a great performance against this team. All these underwhelming ass performances against them are getting old quick. He should've had better numbers if it wasn't for his pass-catchers dropping like 10 of his passes. RR, here's gonna be another "welcome to the NFL" opportunity, buddy. This offense is gonna have to be damn near perfect. We're playing in Pittsburgh so expect penalties against us. That defense and home crowd is like the best at forcing "when it rains, it pours" moments for opposing teams. It's just as much as clockwork as Watt making a timely sack or forced fumble in the 4th.

You already know GP is gonna cook us and watch one of his big plays be against Marlon. Wouldn't surprise me if Mike Williams has a couple of bullshit contested catches on us too. Najee surprisingly has been playing well as of late. I think he's had 3 consecutive 100-yard rushing performances so far.
 
Interested in seeing how a Pittsburgh enters this game. They’re playing Commanders so hopefully they do us a solid and prep them for us
 
Steelers are playing really well right now with Russ at the helm. Would have been real cool if they wanted to keep that Fields experiment going, but no, they had to be smart about it.
 
I don’t think we win this one. They’re fucking good this year, they’re a very complete team and they can attack our secondary downfield. They got a good OL, they can run the ball, they can break tackles, they can make plays at the catch point, their offense is a bit of a nightmare for us.

Their defense is the best one we’ll face all year, if not them then it’s the chiefs, but tj watt single handedly puts them above the chiefs in my eyes. He can decide he’s done with a game and just take it over for 3 plays and end it, can’t be in a late comeback situation vs this team, we won’t win if that’s the case. They have an excellent DL rotation both against the run and pass, highsmith is playing excellent ball right now, their secondary is looking really good, they are gonna be a real bitch to move the ball against.

Not too hopeful

Was just thinking the same, it’ll be almost like having a Ravens game Sunday, rooting for the Commandos.

We can win.

Pickens will get a few hundred yards on contested catches over Stephens but we're still a good run defense and Wilson won't be able to attack our weak middle field coverage. He's always taken a lot of sacks too, which will get them off schedule.

They're only an average pass defense - that's not good enough to stop Lamar.

Having said all that, something stupid will happen and they'll win somehow.
 
It’s a shame the broadcasting rules prevented this from being flexed into SNF because this is clearly one of the two best games of the week (Chiefs vs Bills being other) and neither is in prime time. Just a weird week of football next week.

Kind of sucks they playing the Commanders right before us.

Jayden Daniels the closest to Lamar. Hes gonna give them their best practice to prepare for us.
 
Think they’ll sweep us
 
I think this game gives you a good look at what our postseason will look like. Playing the Steelers is extremely similar to playing to the Chiefs. They always play us extremely hard and in recent years have pretty much owned us because we haven't quite got over the hump.

If we get the proverbial Steelers monkey off our back (even in a very ugly way) I'll be extremely pleased. If we continue to lose to them, I think it'll show we don't have the team to go all the way.
