Week 2- Pittsburgh Steelers @ Heinz Field

Although the Pittsburgh Steelers missed the playoffs in 2019, they are never an easy matchup, especially in front of the “Terrible Towels” in Pittsburgh.

Although Ben Roethlisberger’s best days are behind him, the Steelers should still be in playoff contention in 2020. With offensive weapons in JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner, along with a young and very stout defense, Pittsburgh could return to their winning ways this season.

However, it is unlikely that they will be able to keep up with the Baltimore Ravens and win the AFC North. For this reason, it is important that the Denver Broncos hit the ground running early on and win their road-opener; Pittsburgh may be a team they are battling with over a potential Wild Card spot, and this game could be a tie-breaker at the conclusion of the regular season.
