In Sunday’s Week 10 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Commanders, things will be rather tight between the two teams.
While the Commanders have an elite, high-scoring offense, the Steelers have a dominant defense. The Steelers’ offense likes to push the ball down the field and create explosive plays in the passing game, but the Commanders’ pass defense is one of the stingiest in the NFL, allowing just 183.3 yards per game through the air.
So, something’s got to give, right?
One would think. The one advantage the Steelers have offensively is that the Commanders are a poor run defense, allowing the fourth-most yards per game on the ground at 143.
