Will the Steelers be able to shut out the tight end?

The Ravens have a good one-two punch at tight end. They have Nick Boyle and Mark Andrews. They also have first-round pick Hayden Hurst on their roster. This is a difficult bunch to deal with for the Steelers.

The Black & Gold will need to take the tight end out of the game; so, that they can focus on Marquise Brown and his deep threat. The Steelers are stronger at free safety and will rely on Minkah Fitzpatrick to shut down both the tight ends and Marquise Brown on different plays.

The Ravens have been able to explode with a lot of points this year because of better receiving options. They have had more development from their tight ends, and they have added Hollywood Brown. Keith Butler has a task on this hands.
