Here are the Steelers primary causes for concerns this week against the Jaguars

Week 10 proved to be much more of a blowout than many expected. The Bengals came in as underdogs against the Steelers but considering the bad performance the team had against the Cowboys, it wasn’t impossible that they blew that game. Instead, the defense came out stout and shut the Bengals down. The offense was a little slow at first, but they also turned it on s the game progressed.

This week, the Steelers are acing arguably their worst team of the year. The Jaguars opened the season with a fire sale of players and opted to beef up the defense and ignore the quarterback position. Gardner Minshew is injured and may be done for the season as the Jaguars attempt to secure a top pick for his replacement. This team is pretty barren in terms of talent, and most expect another blowout.

That said, the Steelers proved that no game is a certainty in the NFL when they nearly lost to the Cowboys a few weeks ago. This game is eerily similar, and with a daunting Ravens game right around the corner, the Steelers could be caught looking ahead and come out sluggish against the Jaguars. Even then, there are a few weapons that this Jaguars team has that could produce. With all of this considered, here are four causes for concern with the Steelers’ week 11 matchup against the Jaguars.
