Six of the Pittsburgh Steelers 17 games will be against the other three teams in the AFC North. The Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns will be the toughest games Pittsburgh faces on their schedule. Here is one thing to prepare for with each of the teams in the AFC North.
Cleveland Browns
If the Steelers want to beat the Browns this year, it is all about stopping Nick Chubb and the run game. Cleveland has the best offensive line in the NFL and Chubb is one of the two or three best backs in the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens
The Steelers have had success against Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson but with Baltimore, it is always about the defense. The Ravens have one of the most aggressive and talented defenses in the NFL and will be one of the toughest tests the Steelers offense will face.
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh feels like a team who is going to want to come out and run the football, taking the burden of the offense off of quarterback Kenny Pickett. But when the Steelers take on the Bengals, the time will come when Pickett is going to have to match throw for throw with Joe Burrow and I’m not sure if he can do it.
