A tradition of many football fanatics is to comb through the schedule after it’s released and predict which games might be tough and which might be a cakewalk. While it’s challenging to get a feel for how teams will perform before the season starts, it’s still a fun exercise.
Here’s our ranking on the three easiest games on the Steelers 2020 schedule.
3 – Week 11 @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Sure, the Steelers have struggled versus “Duval” in the past, but they’re no longer your grandma’s Jaguars. They’re falling apart at the seams and appear to be without an identity.
The black and gold have more wins at TIAA Bank Field than they do at home versus the Jags. The defense will harass quarterback Gardner Minshew and take advantage of multiple turnovers to win the game.
2 – Week 13 – vs. Washington Redskins
The Redskins improved upon an awful 2019 defense with defensive end Chase Young. He could give the Steelers fits to start the game, but the offense will adjust and have a field day both through the air and on the ground.
3 – Week 2 – vs. Denver Broncos
For once, the Steelers don’t have to travel to Mile High. Pittsburgh has traveled to Denver five out of the last six times the teams have faced each other.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will come out on fire in his first home game since Week 2 of 2019 and connect with the myriad of weapons at his disposal. The Steelers defense will prove to be too much for second-year QB Drew Lock.
