DB’s Steelers-Raiders Preview: How Can Pittsburgh Get Back on Track?
Fresh off a two-game skid, The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to the west coast to square off with the 2-3 Las Vegas Raiders. Over the past two weeks, the offense has been extremely inconsistent, especially to start games and the defense hasn’t allowed the opposition to move the ball up and down the field, particularly struggling on third down. SN analyst Derrick Bell details all of his scouting notes for this matchup, breaking down the key matchups to watch for on Sunday afternoon. In addition to that, there’s some key talking points that deserved some extra attention.
Can Justin Fields realistically still hold on to the QB1 spot with Russell Wilson fully healthy and ready to go? Why are teams sending so many chip blocks in T.J. Watt’s direction and ways that Pittsburgh can make his life easier on the edge. George Pickens has dominated the airwaves this week after his antics on Sunday night football, what should we expect from him moving forward and how important is it for him to get back on the moving train? There’s plenty of intriguing storylines in this one that will have notable implications on how to rest could unfold.
