Joe Burrow (at Pittsburgh) - While Burrow might be a complete bust this week, to ask for any upside would be unreasonable. Dating back to Week 2 of last season, only one quarterback has surpassed 19.4 fantasy points against the Pittsburgh Steelers -- that's a span of 22 games. Pittsburgh ranks seventh-best in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, and only four teams have been stingier against the position. Burrow has recorded fewer than 18 fantasy points in four of his eight contests this season, and with the Cincinnati Bengals having the third-lowest implied total on the slate, he could be headed for another dud.

Pitt gets after the QB, and while the results were better last game, Tenn is nothing like Pitt. I know everyone is excited and getting worked up for the hope and possibilities but this team is still a ways away from playing toe to toe with the top teams in the league. 

It would be nice if last game was 'the beginning' of something special but i'm not going to expect anything until i see a few games of it.

After our victory over Tennessee, we see a glimpse of what we can do. It wasn't the perfect victory, but it was executed as well as we could expect. Now when you take Pittsburgh struggled  against Tennessee as well? Yeah, I think we got a shot. 
Burrow is learning too flippin fast for most of us to realize what we actually have in this kid. Joe Cool will rule and we win a nail biter for sure. I like that yet again, we are underrated.

Ten defense QB pressure %...17.4% 31st

Pitt defense QB hurry %...16.1% #1
Ten defense QB hurry%... 5.9% 31st

Whatever you saw against the Titans, it will be a whole different world against the Steelers.

And even against that Pathetic Titan pass rush Joe still had to work some magic to keep from being sacked a few times.

I expect it to not be pretty, and if we win it’ll be because of a nifty gritty showing by Burrow. Like 1TD passing 2 picks kind of day but efficient enough to win.

I don’t have a ton of faith in this team proving the world wrong. I certainly hope they do though!
