Pittsburgh Steelers vs Washington Commanders Football Preview - 11-10-2024
The Steelers have proven difficult to beat on the road this season, taking eight wins out of nine road contests while covering in all but one contests. Their defence has been stellar in creating pressure on only 18.5% of opponent dropbacks - fourth best among NFL teams. That will prove critical against a Washington offense with second-best rushing attack led by Najee Harris, Joe Mixon and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.
After enjoying a Week 9 bye, the Commanders have come out swinging, winning both games since and emerging as one of the league's hottest teams. Najee Harris has amassed over 100 yards in each of her last three weeks while quarterback Russell Wilson continues his progress; most recently he threw for 278 yards and one touchdown against Giants in Week 10.
PFF's defensive grade rankings provide an indication of their toughest opponent yet; pass-blocking numbers won't stand up against Pittsburgh's pressure unit; pass-blocking alone won't do it, against one of the premier run defenses in the league; expect a long day for Commanders offensive lineman.
Both teams head into this game riding momentum and hoping that victory here can propel them toward an undefeated regular season. The over/under for this matchup opens at 44.5 points and should feature both teams showcasing their respective strengths.
