The ever-changing roulette of momentum has swung in favor of the Commanders after Pittsburgh made several key mistakes in all three facets of the game. Washington’s touchdown to end the first-half gave them the lead in Week 10.

While the referees have done the Pittsburgh Steelers—and Joey Porter Jr.—no favors with several questionable flags, the defense seemingly fell apart on the final drive of the first half.

Pittsburgh currently trails Washington 17-14, with the Commanders set to receive the ball at the start of the second half.

Can Head Coach Mike Tomlin reignite his team’s seemingly fading morale? This Steel City brand of football is capable of beating the Commanders but will require near-perfection in offense, defense, and special teams to achieve it.

With the Steelers set to face one of the toughest second-half schedules in the league, Week 10 against the Commanders remains a must-win to set the tone for the remainder of the season.
