Of course, a tie isn’t impossible and maybe the most plausible solution for such an elite exhibition – that would create a new mark in their matchup history.

The praise for the Titans is justified and more-than-warranted for what they have accomplished on the season so far & how they have done it. However, if we took a closer look, the realization is that four of their five wins have come by a point margin of six points or less.

Against an undefeated football team, the Steelers will need to play mostly flawless football in order to come away with the win in Week 7. Here are three key matchups to keep an eye on this week against the Tennessee Titans:
