The Steelers are on a three-game winning streak and are back to .500. They face a tough test this weekend against the Rams.

The Steelers have been playing good football lately, but this weekend they will be tested by a good Rams team. The Rams feature the best player in the NFL in Aaron Donald, and that should make for a tough test for their offense. They also are facing a team with a winning record.

The Black & Gold are beat up at running back. James Conner and Benny Snell Jr. have already been ruled out. Trey Edmunds also hasn’t practiced this week. They will rely on Jaylen Samuels this week to carry the load and will hope he doesn’t get hurt.

The Steelers need to win these home games if they are going to make the playoffs. It doesn’t help that the Ravens are playing good football. The Steelers need to keep winning to keep pace with the Ravens.

There is also some question as to whether Juju Smith-Schuster will play this week. He is listed as questionable after being limited in Friday’s practice with a foot injury. It seems like he must’ve injured it in practice, which is tough news for the Black & Gold.
