10 Steelers that can hand Philadelphia Eagles a third loss in 2020

The Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff is surely game-planning for T.J. Watt.

If you though T.J. Watt was forever going to be J.J.’s little brother, you weren’t alone, at least not in the beginning. The younger Watt sibling has been able to make a name for himself though, and he has become a staple of the Steelers defense since they drafted him in 2017, the same year the team brought in Smith-Schuster and running back James Connor via the player’s selection process.

In his first three years in Pittsburgh, Watt registered 34.5 sacks and has already collected 3.5 in 2020. He’s also broken up 20 passes, intercepted four more, and has forced an astonishing 15 fumbles in his young career. Watt got a First-Team All-Pro designation at the end of last season and seems on his way to earning another one in 2020.

All things must eventually come to an end, but not Ben Roethlisberger’s career. At least not this year. After missing 14 games last season, ‘Big Ben’ has said he’s feeling good and his 2020 numbers seem to back up that assessment.

So far, Roethlisberger has completed 73 of 109 passes for 777 yards and seven touchdowns versus just one interception. Last season, the Steelers were in playoff contention without him thanks in large part to their defense. This year, they look like a playoff contender with him back in the saddle. The Philadelphia Eagles were able to force 49ers quarterback Nick Mullen into making mistakes. Le’ts see if they can repeat the feat against an undefeated Steelers team in Week 5.
