6 teams Steelers fans should be rooting for during the bye week
By Tommy Jaggi
Raiders
The Raiders are a 2-1 football team that has played surprisingly well in the early going. While they could certainly be an AFC Wild Card candidate in 2020, it’s more important that the Buffalo Bills lose this week. Buffalo is off to a hot start at 3-0, and we still have dreams that the Steelers could somehow surprise Kansas City and Baltimore by locking down the number one seed (it’s a longshot, I know). Still, the Bills could be a real threat this year in the AFC and even in the playoffs, so every loss could prove to help the Steelers.
Patriots
Trust me, I’m not a fan of being forced to root for New England, but I’m going with the lesser threat in this game. The Patriots travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs this week in a contest that could prove to be the team of the week. While New England is always going to be a threat as long as Bill Belichick is there, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are currently the scariest team in the league. Unfortunately, New England’s chances look slim as quarterback Cam Newton will be sitting out after testing positive for COVID-19.
