5 bold predictions for the Steelers in Week 8 vs. Ravens

Steelers can’t stop Brown

Marquise Brown isn’t known for tough combative catches or constant fantasy outings. What the former first-rounder is known for is his game-breaking speed and ability to go the distance anytime he touches the ball. While he has disappointed in his sophomore season, this week against the middling Steelers secondary could be a good time for him to remind the NFL why he was a worthy first-round choice.

While it would only be the second rush of his career, I think Brown takes an early game end-around 80 yards and into the end zone. As well, he catches a 62-yard bomb from Jackson for a score in the second. While he carries no notable plays beyond those two, it will certainly look good for Brown to produce in such a way. He was brought in to bring splash plays, but he hasn’t done that consistently enough.

In total, Brown logs just over 200 total yards and a pair of scores on the day. He looks like a human highlight real and allows for the Steelers secondary to receive more critiques. While he may not keep up that kind of pace for the rest of the year, he seems like a player that will give the Steelers fits. Ideally, the team has game-planned around his game-breaking ability, but if not, it could be another long day for this secondary.
