Expect Javorious Allen to get the ball in the red zone

Through three games, the Ravens have 12 red zone TDs: six passing and six rushing. Of which, RB Javorius Allen has been responsible for 4 (three one yard runs and one 12 yard reception). Expect Allen to touch the ball between 8 and 10 times inside the Steelers’ 20 yard line.

The Steelers defense has allowed only two rushing TDs this season. Both by the Cleveland Browns. So they need to continue this trend and hold the Ravens to one rushing TD. Otherwise, we’re in for a long night.

Also expect the porous Steelers secondary to give up three TDs through the air. Two of them coming on red zone passes to Allen and a TE. Either Maxx Williams or Nick Boyle.
