Here are the Steelers main reasons to be concerned against the Cowboys this week
On paper, the Steelers week nine matchup against the Cowboys should be an easy win as the team improves to an 8-0. The Cowboys are dipping into their reserves at quarterback and offensive line while the defense has played similar to what a piece of swiss cheese would do. Considering the Steelers are one of, if not the, best team in the NFL, this game should be an easy win in theory.
That said, there is no such thing as an easy win at the pro level. While the Cowboys have certainly had their share of struggles, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have talent on the roster. Their offense was one of the best in the league before Dak Prescott’s untimely injury. They were throwing the ball at will as they tried to keep up with the opposing teams running wild over their defense. Even down a quarterback, this offense still has some serious talent that has to be considered.
While this game should be an easy victory, in theory, there are still reasons Steelers fans should be nervous. If this game is close, or worse yet it ends in a loss, the team will suddenly see themselves tumble down the rankings they have clawed up from. As the only undefeated team right now, the Steelers are in a prime position to claim a high seed in the playoffs, making a loss here a tough pill to swallow.
With all of this said, here are the Steelers’ four causes for concern in week nine.
