Steelers edge duo vs. Cameron Fleming and Andrew Thomas

T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree combined last season for 26 sacks and multiple nightmares for opposing offensive tackles in the league. The duo looks to pick up where they left off and they have a favorable matchup in week one.

The Giants are starting rookie tackle, and fourth overall pick, Andrew Thomas at left tackle while Cameron Fleming starts at right tackle. Thomas is untested against anyone of the caliber of Dupree or Watt and Fleming is no Lane Johnson so they will have their hands full with this rushing duo.

Watt and Dupree will look to provide pressure early and often to rattle Daniel Jones. This will set the table for our next matchup for Monday.
