Similarly styled, both, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers, have an elite defense, sub-par passing numbers, and a great rushing game as the focal point of their attack.  Here are some bold predictions for Pittsburgh’s Week 3 game.

Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack make it a stressful day:

While Troy Fautanu looked like one of the best offensive linemen on the field last week in Denver, Joey Bosa is a different animal.  Khalil Mack will assist and this duo will reach 3 sacks combined in the game.

Steelers’ interior pass rush takes over:

The Chargers' offensive tackles are playing like some of the best in the league right now, but that will not matter for Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, and Larry Ogunjobi, who get to Herbert early and often on Sunday.

J.K. Dobbins does not finish Week 3 as the NFL rushing leader:

J.K. Dobbins, while enjoying success against the Steelers defense in the past, is facing the best defense any running back could face in 2024.  Dobbin's comeback story takes a pause in Week 3.

The gameplans will decide it all:

In a game where the teams are similar in so many ways, it will force either Tomlin’s staff or Harbaugh’s staff to win with a 'best game plan takes all' mentality. Tomlin's defense out-schemes Jim in this one.

Steelers offense will finally put it all together:

Facing a competitive team in Week 3 should push the Steelers to look deep into their offensive playbook, and finally overcome the offensive struggles from the past two weeks.
