3 games that could ruin the Steelers perfect season in 2020

The Steelers have a legitimate shot to go undefeated this year, but here are three games that could stand in their way of a perfect season.

We are now in Week 12 and the Pittsburgh Steelers still have a spotless record. The year 2020 hasn’t been kind to hardly anyone, including the Steelers at times, but they have found a way to overcome some difficult situations and remain perfect on the season.

This week has been a nightmare for Mike Tomlin and his team. After being prepared to host the Baltimore Ravens on a short week for a Thanksgiving night game, at least 18 positive COVID-19 tests from players and personnel in Baltimore have prompted the game to be postponed not once, but three times. Now the Steelers will look to take care of business against their division rival seven days later on Wednesday afternoon.

With just 6 games remaining on the schedule, there are still a handful of games that could stand in the way of the Steelers perfect season, and Baltimore is not one of them. Here are three games that could prevent Pittsburgh from going 16-0:

Steelers @ Bills: December 13th

This game is set to be played under the lights for Sunday Night Football. While the Steelers have fared well in primetime games under Mike Tomlin, knocking off a capable 7-3 Bills team on their own turf will not be easy, and this could prove to be the hardest game they have yet.

By this point in the season, there could be snow for this Week 14 matchup – something that probably won’t favor Pittsburgh’s passing game. The Steelers have really struggled to run the ball for much of the past four games, as they have averaged just 61.0 rushing yards per contest.
