5 reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to win against the Denver Broncos in their week 2 match up

Von Miller is expected to miss 3-6 months and no one is as happy about that as Ben in week 2.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are catching a break without having to face Von Miller in week 2. Considering the injuries on the offensive line, removing the best player from such a talented front 7 is going to help. Considering the emergence of Alexander Johnson last season, Bradley Chubb coming back from injury, and Jurrell Casey joining the Broncos in the offseason the Steelers are still going to have their hands full.

With Zach Banner out, Chucks Okorafor is going to start on Sunday. The last time the Steelers played the Broncos, Chucks was a rookie and he made his first career start in place of an injured Marcus Gilbert against Von Miller. This time around Chucks isn’t a rookie and he is going up against Jeremiah Attaochu.

Attaochu attained a sack in week 1, but he is in the 7th year of his career. Per ProFootballReference, he has never started a full season, nor has he filled up a the stat sheet. Aside from his second season, he has never managed more than 21 tackles, or 4 sacks in a season. This is a matchup Chucks is going to win. Even as I expect the Broncos to find a plethora of ways to generate pressure, the Steelers will be okay.

The Giants do have a decent amount of talent in their front 7. They were in Ben’s face a lot on Monday night football. I don’t expect the Broncos to have a ton more success than New York when it comes to pressure and the reason is because of the injury to Von Miller.
