Week 10: Pittsburgh Steelers (Away)

Looking at the list of serious contenders facing heavy pressure to succeed in 2019, the Pittsburgh Steelers certainly rank near the top of the list after the team lost both Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown this offseason.

While Brown ended up signing with the New York Jets after holding out all of last year due to being upset over his contract situation, Brown would find himself traded to the Oakland Raiders, meaning the offense is going to look a little different next year.

Should Pittsburgh feel confident in Ben Roethlisberger continuing to play at a high level despite losing his former teammates? The good news for the Steelers is they most likely never would have  put themselves in this position if the confidence wasn’t there for the offense to still be successful, although that’s always easier said than done.

Knowing these two teams, the Rams could find themselves in a shootout with the Steelers similar to what took place last year when McVay’s squad pulled off the win over the Kansas City Chiefs since each offense is that good.

Then again, the preference for Los Angeles would be to put up a ton of points while applying enough pressure on Big Ben to keep Pittsburgh out of the end zone as much as possible, so here’s to hoping this ends up happening.
