Pittsburgh is 6th in the NFL in turnovers forced and tied for the Bills with the league’s most interceptions at seven. Minkah Fitzpatrick is a walking turnover in the secondary. Alex Highsmith has the NFL’s second most sacks with five and a half. Pittsburgh is yet to allow more than 24 points on defense. This unit can play, even without T.J. Watt.’

Game predictions | Bills vs. Steelers | Week 5
‘The biggest point spread of the season scares me. Kenny Pickett showed plenty in the preseason and his unlucky half against the Jets makes me believe he’ll use Pittsburgh’s wideouts better than Mitchell Trubisky did.
