Pittsburgh Steelers schedule 2020: 3 Toughest, 3 easiest Games

Second Toughest: Week 14 at Buffalo Bills

The Bills came into Pittsburgh and intercepted Duck Hodges four times in their road victory at Heinz Field. They have one of the best defenses in football and, with the acquisition of Stefon Diggs, one of the best receivers in football as well.

It will be interesting to see how two very similar teams fair against one another, this time on Buffalo’s home turf in Orchard Park. The degree of difficulty for this game all depends on the progression of Josh Allen as an accurate passer. If his mechanics improve, this could end up being a candidate for game of the year.

However, if he is still wildly inconsistent, Pittsburgh could avenge their 2019 loss in rather convincing fashion.

Second Easiest: Week 13 vs. Washington Redskins

While I love the hires the Redskins made at head coach and defensive coordinator (Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio, respectively), the talent on the offensive side of the ball is lackluster and raw, to say the least. While I am not one who has given up on Dwayne Haskins after one less than incredible year, the current pandemic could put a damper on his development and the leap he takes in 2020.

Their young front seven is promising, especially with the addition of Chase Young but I have big questions about their cornerbacks. I think Roethlisberger and the offense have a good day and the Steelers defense thrives against a Redskins offense that lacks firepower.
