Ravens Week in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to rebound from last week's 41-10 loss in Cincinnati. The Steelers have a record of 0-2-1 in their last three games. With an overall record of 5-5-1, the Steelers are last in the AFC North and on the verge of missing the playoffs. According to ESPN's football power index, the Baltimore Ravens have a 56.8% chance of winning Sunday.
"We can't keep playing like this it's absolutely embarrassing" – Pittsburgh Steelers Linebacker T.J. Watt
The Steelers defense allowed the Bengals to rush for over 150 yards and throw for 172 yards. The defense is ranked 29th stopping the running and 29th defending the pass. In preparation for Sunday's game coach, Mike Tomlin used receiver Ray-Ray McCloud as the scout team quarterback to imitate Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
"You may certainly see changes" – Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on playing time for players on the offense and defensive of line.
It has not gone unnoticed that the Steelers offense and defense of line have been underperforming the last few weeks. The offense of line allowed Ben Roethlisberger to get sacked three times last week in Cincinnati. The defense of line has been getting manhandled at the line of scrimmage for the last 2 games.
