5 most anticipated Steelers games for the 2020 NFL season
By Sam Ouhaj
1. Pittsburgh Steelers @ Dallas Cowboys, November 8th at AT&T Stadium
Everyone remembers Week 10 of 2016 in Pittsburgh. 15 seconds remaining on the clock, Pittsburgh led 30-29 and had the chance to end the momentum of the 7-1 Cowboys. However, Ezekiel Elliott had other plans. Elliott scored a 32-yard touchdown to seal the game, 35-30. In a game that saw 9 lead changes, the 32-yard touchdown hit hard.
The Cowboys improved to 8-1 and the Steelers fell to 4-5. The best thing that came out of this game was the Steelers ran the table and went on a 9 game win streak and made it to the AFC Championship. Now the Steelers and Cowboys will meet Week 9 in Dallas in one of the most anticipated games across the NFL.
When Dak Prescott faced off against Ben Roethlisberger, the two went into a shootout, where Dak threw for 319 yards and Ben threw for 408 yards. I am very excited to see what happens on November 8th, especially since Pittsburgh will be coming off a bye week and the Cowboys will have faced the Eagles for the first time the previous week.
Also, this is technically not the first matchup of the season between the two teams this season. The Cowboys and Steelers are set to play on August 6th in Canton, Ohio for the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. While we may see some of the starters, this game will be played mainly by second and third stringers after the first quarter. I can guarantee that Week 9 in Dallas will be one of the best games in the NFL this season. I have Dallas winning 35-27 in a high scoring contest.
