Steelers road to a perfect season A game

, Mike Tomlin, and the rest of the are in uncharted territory. For the first time in the franchise's 87-year history, Pittsburgh is undefeated through nine games after the Steelers breezed by the Sunday at Heinz Field. Buoyed by Roethlisberger's return, the arrival of offensive newcomers and and the continued stellar play of , Terance Mann Jersey , , and , the Steelers boast the 's third-ranked scoring offense. Pittsburgh's defense, led by T.J. Watt, , Cam Heyward, and , is No. 3 in the league in scoring and first in sacks and turnovers forced. Pittsburgh's special teams has been led by , who has made all but two of his 45 field goal attempts since the start of last season.The Steelers' succe s in all three phases has allowed them to build a three-game lead in the AFC North. The Steelers have a one-game lead over the defending champion for the race to secure the AFC's No. 1 seed. The top seed is the more important than ever this season, as it will be the only team that receives a first round bye in the NFL's expanded postseason.Pittsburgh, the first team to start 9-0 since the 2015 , are looking to become the first team since the 2009 to win the after a 9-0 start. And while claiming a seventh Lombardi Trophy is top priority, the Steelers surely wouldn't mind making history if they were to join the 1972 as the NFL's only perfect teams. With that in mind, we decided to predict the outcome of each of the Steelers' seven remaining regular season games. The , 1-8 through nine games, put a scare into the this past Sunday before Green Bay prevailed, 24-20. While they'll have to contain running back and receivers D.J. Chark and , the Steelers should be able to defeat a Jaguars team that will be starting quarterback , who completed just 51.4% of his pa ses against the Packers. The Steelers' offense also shouldn't have many i sues against a Jaguars defense that is 31st in the NFL in scoring. Sunday would be a good time for the Steelers to re-establish their rushing attack against the Jaguars' 25th ranked run defense.Result: Win Record: 10-0The sky appears to be falling in Baltimore. After going 14-2 in 2019, reigning league MVP and his teammates have failed to live up to expectations thus far in 2020. After a 5-1 start, Baltimore is 1-2 over its last three games that includes a 28-24 lo s at the hands of the Steelers in Week 8. After taking care of busine s against the in Week 9, the Ravens fell to the in a game that was played during a monsoon on "Sunday Night Football."While the Steelers' defense had its way with Jackson during their first two matchups, something tells me that Jackson Nicolas Batum Jersey will get the better of the Steelers on Thanksgiving. Jackson will be aided by a Ravens' rushing attack that features and rookie J.K. Dobbins, who is the only player that has rushed for over 100 yards against the Steelers this season. In what should be another cla sic Steelers-Ravens game, Baltimore pulls it out while handing Pittsburgh its first defeat. Result: Lo sRecord: 10-1With nine days off and fresh off of their first lo s, the Steelers shouldn't have any i sues dispatching a Washington team that is currently 2-7 after dropping a nail-biter in Detroit on Sunday. And while Pittsburgh's offense may face some resistance against Washington's top-ranked pa s defense, the Steelers' defense shouldn't have any i sues against a Washington offense that is currently 29th in scoring.Result: WinRecord: 11 Los Angeles Clippers Hats -1In Week 15 of the 2019 season, Pittsburgh nearly defeated a playoff bound Buffalo team despite having Delvin "Duck" Hodges under center. While the ' defense isn't what it was last season, Buffalo's offense, led by quarterback Josh Allen and newcomer , is spearheading an offense that is currently fifth in the league in pa sing and second in third-down conversions. While Allen will offer a unique challenge for Pittsburgh's defense, the Steelers' offense should have succe s against a Bills' defense that has allowed at least 28 points five times this season.Result: WinRecord: 12-1Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, after he misfired on several pa ses during Rodney McGruder Jersey the second half. Burrow will be motivated to play better the second time around, but it probably won't be enough to topple the Steelers. This game will not only be Round 2 between Big Ben and Burrow, it will feature two of the NFL's top rookie receivers in Chase Claypool and , who combined to catch 11 pa ses for 171 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday. Result: WinRecord: 13-1The Steelers are very familiar with the Colts and their new quarterback Philip Rivers. Pittsburgh has faced -- and beaten -- the Colts five times during the previous six seasons. Pittsburgh lost a heartbreaker against Rivers and the in 2018 before defeating the veteran quarterback on his own turf last season. While the Colts (who are currently 6-3 and atop the AFC South) are a formidable foe, the Steelers should be able to take advantage of Rivers' penchant for committing turnovers. The Colts turned the ball over twice in each of their three lo ses; how well they take care of the ball against Pittsburgh will likely help determine the outcome of this game.Result: WinRecord: 14-1For a myriad of reasons, I don't think the Steelers will win this one. For starters, the Steelers, at 14-1, may not even need to win this game in order to lock up the No. 1 seed. The Chiefs, the Steelers' biggest competition to grab the AFC's top seed, have four remaining games against teams with winning records that includes this weekend's game against the , who defeated the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium in Week 5. The Chiefs also have to travel to Tampa Bay in Week 12 before traveling to Miami to face the 6-3 Dolphins in Week 14. They then have to travel to New Orleans to face the 7-2 Saints Ky Bowman Jersey before finishing the regular season with home games against the and Chargers.The , 6-3 through nine games, may need to win this game in order to clinch their first playoff berth since 2002. Cleveland, barring injury, will have this time around after Chubb mi sed the Browns' 38-7 lo s in Pittsburgh back in Week 6. and also played through injuries during that game before exiting early. The Browns should be in a better position to win the rematch, as Mayfield, Chubb, Landry, and pa s rusher look to split their season series against the Steelers for the second consecutive year. Result: Lo sRecord: 14-2A 14-2 record would tie the 1978 Steelers for the second-best regular season record in franchise history. The '78 Steelers, whose 7-0 start was the best in franchise history before being surpa sed by Pittsburgh's current team, won the AFC's No. 1 seed before defeating Denver, Houston and Dallas to win the franchise's third Super Bowl in a fi
