Pittsburgh Steelers: 5 Bold predictions for Divisional Round vs. Jaguars
By Derek Snyder
The Pittsburgh Steelers are all set to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs. Here are five bold predictions for the game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars are all set to square off this weekend in a huge AFC showdown. While the Steelers are coming off a first-round bye, the Jags won their Wild Card game last weekend over the Buffalo Bills. Even with some concern over their Week 5 matchup, Pittsburgh should still be confident their squad will emerge victorious on Sunday afternoon.
The best news for any Steelers fan, is that wide receiver, Antonio Brown, is set to return from a scary calf injury he sustained a month ago. There’s no doubt Brown is one of the NFL’s elite playmakers, which makes his availability something to keep an eye one throughout this AFC Playoff game.
It’s one thing to be ready to play, but it’s another for a player to stay healthy throughout an entire 60-minute battle. We all know the Jags have some great defensive backs who tend to play physical, so all eyes will be on Brown’s status Sunday.
Even with an injury concern for their best receiver, the Steelers should be able to rebound from their embarrassing loss to these same Jaguars back in October. We’ve rarely seen Ben Roethlisberger toss five interceptions in one game, and I doubt we’ll see it again this weekend against Jacksonville.
With that said, take a look at five bold predictions for Pittsburgh in their battle against the Jaguars on Sunday.
