Sports Illustrated Makes Pair Of ‘Bold’ Steelers Predictions

Brace yourselves, prediction season is upon us.

Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr got out in front of prediction season on Thursday morning, releasing his annual 100 Bold Predictions piece ahead of the NFL season. This year, Orr had two Pittsburgh Steelers-centric predictions.

One could be categorized as bold, while the other one…well, not so much.

Orr predicts that Steelers’ quarterback Justin Fields will score five touchdowns in 2024 as a non-quarterback, and he also predicted that star outside linebacker T.J. Watt will win the 2024 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

With the Fields prediction, it’s quite simple where Orr is coming from.
