Week 4 @ Tennessee Titans

I don’t know what it is, but I just have a feeling the Steelers are really going to struggle in this road contest against the Titans. Tennessee caught fire late in the season and into the playoffs last year, and their roster is talented enough to fly under the radar again in 2020.

Though Pittsburgh should possess more firepower than the Titans this year, Tennessee has a lethal rushing attack headlined by Derrick Henry. It still remains to be seen what type of run defense the Steelers will boast this season, but they were just modest at stopping the run in 2019.

The Titans aren’t a team that relies on their passing attack, and if the Steelers can get an early lead, T.J. Watt and company can tee off against Ryan Tannehill. However, if Tenessee controls the tempo, Pittsburgh’s defense could get worn out quickly.
