Steelers and Titans Go Head-to-Head in Thursday Night Clash of AFC Powerhouses

Previewing Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers on NFL Week 11 Thursday Night Football...

Both the Titans (6–3) and the Steelers (7–2) rely on strong rushing attacks and defense. On offense they'll go with heavy personnel—extra tight ends, a fullback, a sixth O-lineman, etc.—but they also incorporate the occasional gadget design. For the Steelers, it's either Martavis Bryant on an end-around, or some form of wide receiver screen (an extension of the running game). For the Titans, lately it has been Marcus Mariota and star corner Adoreé Jackson on multi-option designs.

Mariota is at his best on timing and rhythm throws down the seams.
