The Steelers will likely be without George Pickens on Saturday in Baltimore so what should we expect from the offense without their biggest star. However, TJ Watt should be good to go therefore there is legitimate reason to believe the Steelers defense will once again be the kryptonite to Lamar Jackson which could lead to a teeth and claw win for the Black and Gold.

As predicted, the Steelers offense struggled mightily without its biggest weapon George Pickens. The Philadelphia defensive front was having a field day against the Steelers offensive line so Najee Harris once again struggled to get going. Mike Tomlin’s critics had a lot to say about his clock management at the end of the first half and his decision to punt down 14 points in the fourth quarter.

The refs were under a heavy spotlight after a bad performance that was led by the decision to not flag a single Eagles player during the fight that broke out in the first half. The Chiefs remained the number one seed in the AFC but Pat Mahomes now has to deal with a high ankle sprain, and the Bills held onto the number two spot as they went into Detroit and Josh Allen added more film for his case to win the MVP.

The Steelers seemingly have their backs up against the wall this week in Philadelphia. Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown are as talented as any offensive duo in the NFL, plus the Eagles have arguably the most balanced defensive roster in the league.

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have led the Eagles to the number one rushing offense in the league and if the Steelers want a shot of keeping up with Russell Wilson and company on Sunday, they must slow down Philly’s run game. Once again Mike Tomlin and the Steelers were the stars and focal point of the second episode of AFC North Hard Knocks.
