4. JuJu Smith-Schuster Puts On A Big-Time Show
Looking ahead to this week’s matchup, the Steelers should be expecting a big-time performance from star wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. He has started the 2020 season strong with 13 receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns.
Smith-Schuster had a rough year in 2019, but a lot of that had to do with the quarterback play. With Roethlisberger back healthy, the Steelers are seeing him turn things around. Against the Texans, Smith-Schuster will catch eight passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
2. The Defense Racks Up Four Sacks, Two Forced Turnovers
Pittsburgh once again has a very good defense that can cause issues for opposing offenses. Deshaun Watson may be a star, but he will not look like a star this week.
T.J. Watt and company will get the Watson at least four times throughout the game and the secondary will force two interceptions. The Steelers know that in order to beat Watson, they will need to force him to make hurried decisions. That is exactly what they will do all game long in Week 3.
