5. Week 5 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have never been an easy opponent for the Steelers. Fortunately, Mike Tomlin’s team gets them at home, but this will still be a very difficult task. Philadelphia is a very well-rounded team without a lot of weaknesses. They’ve got a balanced, efficient offense and their defensive line could be one of the best in the league in 2020.

Joining that dominant unit is former Steelers defensive tackle, Javon Hargrave. The combination of Hargrave and Fletcher Cox could prove to bee too much for the Steelers offensive line as they shuffle plays around this year.

While Pittsburgh’s defense may be able to hold this team in check, the offense will have to do their part if they want to come away with the win in Week 5. A loss here obviously doesn’t count against their division record, but it will be key for seeding down the road.
