The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first win of the season could not have come at a better time for the team. The score ended up being a 27-3 win for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers dominated the Bengals in every phase of the game on Monday Night Football. Mason Rudolph, Devin Bush, James Conner, and a handful of other players helped execute a flawless game plan created by Pittsburgh’s coaching staff.

With their first win, the team gets pushed to a 1-3 record. The Steelers also get some momentum heading into a matchup with the 2-2 Baltimore Ravens.

Week 5 matchup

The Pittsburgh Steelers are only one game back of the AFC North divisional leaders Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. The time is now for the Steelers to turn this season around. The Ravens are coming into Sunday’s matchup on a two-game losing streak, but have shown signs just how dominant they can be on both sides of the ball. With that being said, they have struggled in some areas of the game too.

Pittsburgh Steelers prediction overview

The Baltimore Ravens off-season losses should show up throughout the course of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens defense, in particular, suffered tremendously. Losing Terrell Suggs, Za’Darius Smith, and C.J. Mosley heavily impacted this defense. The Steelers offensive line should have their best game of the year against Baltimore’s new defensive front. I anticipate they will be flawless protecting Mason Rudolph tonight, giving up zero sacks. As a result of being without the ability to get to the quarterback, the Ravens secondary will be effected in coverage. Their non-existence has shown over the start of the season as well, with the Ravens currently ranked 30th in passing defense.
