2. The Baltimore Ravens need to be aware of T.J. Watt

This one is pretty obvious. T.J. Watt already has six sacks this year. The only game in which he did not record a sack was the Houston Texans game last week. Perhaps he was being nice since they were honoring J.J. Watt. Still, all that means is that the odds are high that he will get one against the Ravens.

With a touchdown in a four-point win against the Browns and countless pressures on top of two sacks against the Raiders, it is safe to say the Steelers are 0-4 without T.J. Watt. For his career, the Steelers are 61-28-2 when he starts, and he is 8-4 against the Ravens with 12 sacks, so an average of one per game. He has not been held sackless since 2018, either.

So, the Ravens know him well. Unfortunately, of all of the injured players, Morgan Moses may be one of the least likely to return this week. He suffered his injury this past week; he missed practice Wednesday and was just limited on Thursday. Watt always plays Baltimore well, and this week, he may have an easier opponent at right tackle. This could be trouble for the Baltimore Ravens.
