Are The Steelers are Struggling?
The Steelers are hitting a rough patch, and there’s got to be some serious worry among the team. They’ve dropped their last two games, and neither was even close. First, they lost 27-13 to the Eagles, and then 34-17 to the Ravens. The defense couldn’t handle Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson, and the offense just didn’t cut it. Russell Wilson managed to complete 22 out of 33 passes for 217 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Jaylen Warren was the leading rusher but only managed 48 yards.
The Steelers are putting up an average of 23.5 points, while their defense is giving up 19.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league, and the defense is sitting at 6th. The defense really needs to get back to doing what they do best.
Can the Chiefs Just Keep Winning?
The Chiefs might not always play the prettiest games, but they just keep on winning. In their last match against the Houston Texans, they put up 27 points, which was enough to snag an eight-point win. The defense really gave CJ Stroud a hard time and those two interceptions made a big difference. Patrick Mahomes was on fire, completing 28 out of 41 passes for 260 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Kareem Hunt had a solid performance with 11 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown. Xavier Worthy also chipped in with seven carries for 65 yards and a touchdown.
The Chiefs are scoring an average of 23.7 points while their defense is allowing 18.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league, and the defense is sitting at 3rd. In their next game, they're going to need Mahomes to really step up.
