Each week, our football staff at DK Pittsburgh Sports predicts the Steelers' result, along with sharing a few related thoughts.

Chris Halicke (6-5): The Steelers are much better at stopping the run this year, as they rank seventh against the run heading into Sunday's action. However, Cordarrelle Patterson and a dynamic, versatile rushing attack will not be easy to stop. While most of the time a mobile quarterback such as Marcus Mariota can cause fits for opposing defenses, this is one thing the Steelers are always ready for since they play in the same division as Lamar Jackson.
