What you need to know about the Steelers
Pittsburgh has to be aching after a bruising 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago. Rookie QB Kenny Pickett had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw one interception and fumbled the ball once with only 191 yards passing.
Pittsburgh should benefit from the return of outside linebacker T.J. Watt. The 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year injured his knee in Pittsburgh's 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 and has been out of action since. Watt's presence alone should make things much easier for the rest of the Steelers defense. Pittsburgh's success in this matchup may come down to how well they defend against Saints RB Alvin Kamara.
What you need to know about the Saints
Meanwhile, the Saints came up short against the Ravens this past Monday, falling 27-13. No one had a standout game offensively for New Orleans, but it got one touchdown from TE Juwan Johnson. Dalton ended up with a quarterback rating of 84.0.
The Saints remain talented enough to play with and beat any team in the league on any given Sunday, but inconsistencies, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, have kept them from being considered a legitimate threat in the NFC. At 3-6, they are still alive in the NFC South, but they can't afford too many more losses. New Orleans will get back veteran receiver Jarvis Landry, who has been out since Week 4 with an ankle injury.
