The 2-0 Steelers are set to face off against the 0-2 Houston Texans at Heinz Field for their Week 3 matchup. Here’s why Pittsburgh will win.
The Pittsburgh Steelers should walk out of Heinz Field as winners at the end of Week 3. They match up well against the Texans in a lot of areas.
While Deshaun Watson is one of the most talented athletes in the league at quarterback, the inconsistency around him has been limiting his production. The Texans made the mistake of trading away DeAndre Hopkins. Even with signing two quality wide receivers neither will come close to the production Hopkins provided.
The Texans have a talented roster with some interesting pieces on both sides of the ball. Most people haven’t forgotten how great of a season David Johnson had in 2016. An injury and a terrible offensive line in Arizona has limited him the last few seasons and he is more than likely thankful for the fresh opportunity in Houston.
J.J. Watt is one of the most disruptive defensive linemen the league has ever seen. Injuries have limited his production the last few seasons, but 2020 has been a bit of a resurgence for him. He has dealt with some minor injuries this season but he already has two sacks on the season.
All in all, it should be an interesting game. That being said, here’s why the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be winners.
