This week the Pittsburgh Steelers hope to get back to their winning ways taking on a Cincinnati Bengals team minus franchise quarterback Joe Burrow. Will they do it? What will the new offense look like for the Steelers? Here are our bold predictions for this week’s game as the Steelers try to stay in the playoff mix.
More angry runs from Jaylen Warren
At this point, the only reason Najee Harris is getting carries over Jaylen Warren is because Harris was a first-round pick. We predict another game with over 100 yards on the ground for Warren.
2 passing TDs for Kenny Pickett
This shouldn’t be a bold prediction but given the offensive utility of the Steelers, it has to be. Kenny Pickett needed the change of OC more than anyone and it will reap dividends this week.
Another INT for the rookie Joey Porter Jr.
The ascension of Joey Porter Jr. since he was inserted into the starting lineup has been impressive. This week he will shadow Ja’Marr Chase who is one of the best receivers in the league. But we are predicting Porter will pick up another interception this week.
Big game for Alex Highsmith
It’s been a seriously down season for Alex Highsmith after signing his huge contract extension. No one thought he would only have 4.5 sacks after 10 games but he gets back on track with week while teammate T.J. Watt draws all the extra attention.
