What’s next for the Steelers?
The Steelers will face a Seahawks team without Russell Wilson, who is out several weeks with a finger injury. With that, Chris Carson has been out as well. Pittsburgh will face a Seahawk team led by Geno Smith.
While he did put up some impressive numbers coming off the bench 10-17 for 131 yards and a touchdown, he will be facing a stingy Steelers defense that will have had time to prep and study game film. On top of that, he will have to start at Heinz Field.
Not the most welcome environment for a backup quarterback, even for a previous starter. However, this will be Smith’s first start in three years. Pittsburgh has a good chance to get to the 3-3 mark Sunday.
As far as the rest of the AFC North? The Ravens will be playing a much stronger Chargers team than were the Colts; however, they still play at home. The Bengals travel to Detroit to play the Lions, and the Browns host the Cardinals. The Browns may lose to the Cardinals, and Arizona is the last unbeaten team and is looking good.
The Bengals lost a heartbreaker to the Packers, and the Lions age a good way for them to rebound as the Lions are 0-5. If the Ravens were traveling to Los Angeles, they might lose that game, but they are more likely to win at home.
