On paper, the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Washington Commanders seems like an immovable object versus an unstoppable force game. The Commanders enter Week 10 with the third best scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 29.3 points per game. Pittsburgh enters the game with the second ranked scoring defense, allowing only 14.9 points per game.
But, if you tear those numbers back (specifically for Washington) that could be a mirage, as ESPN’s Ben Solak pointed out when picking the Steelers as his upset of the week.
“There’s no doubt the Commanders have a good offense, but it is worth wondering how good they are against top defenses,” wrote Solak.
