Our Offense vs. Their Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers

The New Orleans Saints face a difficult challenge against the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense as the two teams clash in Paris. Writer Anthony Parker points out that the Steelers boast a top-10 defensive unit led by standout pass rusher T.J. Watt, who has recorded 4.5 sacks and an interception returned for a touchdown this season. Parker argues this powerful defense could present severe problems for New Orleans' vulnerable offensive line.

To overcome Pittsburgh's pass rush, Parker emphasizes that the Saints must establish their ground attack and utilize pre-snap motion to avoid third-and-long situations. In addition, wide receiver Jordyn Tyson traveled with the Saints and may make his season debut, potentially providing New Orleans with a valuable blocking and receiving asset.
