Pittsburgh Steelers will have a difficult 6-game stretch this year
By Edward Hunt
Week Seven at Ravens
The Steelers will get their toughest test of the season Week seven at Baltimore. This game is sure to have its firepower. For one, these two teams are division rivals and they could be going against each other for the division title.
The biggest challenge will be containing NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and he will have the benefit of a supporting cast that includes Hollywood Brown as his target downfield and Ronnie Stanley protecting his blindside. This will be a tough offense to stop.
The bad news is that the strength of the Ravens over the years has been their defense. Despite the departure of Earl Thomas, they will have Marcus Peters at corner and Calais Campbell in the middle. This could be a really tough matchup for the Steelers.
There is something to note about the Ravens defense this year. They will have two rookie inside linebackers who both had good tape in college. Patrick Queen was a first-round pick and is an all-around good linebacker and Malik Harrison is a thumper in the middle. The Ravens run defense will be good in the future.
