200 rushing yards for the Steelers
Last week the tandem of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren combined for 157 rushing yards. This week, the Steelers fully commit to the run game and top 200 yards on the ground.
Steelers defense gets 6 sacks
Packers quarterback Jordan Love is going to see pressure like he hasn’t faced all season. This defense comes at him in waves and ends up taking down Love six times with two of those coming from T.J. Watt.
