After nine games played so far, the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the best teams in the NFL, as their defense has been top notch led by superstar linebacker TJ Watt, and their offense has been formidable, even with the change at quarterback from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson.
In Week 11, the Steelers will face perhaps their toughest challenge of the season thus far, going up against reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and the red-hot Baltimore Ravens, who have won seven of their last eight games.
This highly anticipated matchup between AFC heavyweights will have significant AFC North division implications and will likely be an all-out battle from start to finish with an elite defense and a high-powered offense.
One of the keys to victory for the Steelers on Sunday in Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium will be the play of Watt, who is the undisputed leader of this team and arguably the best linebacker in the NFL today.
Watt, who debuted a new look with a shaved head, spoke to the media ahead of Sunday’s game about the matchup with the division-rival Ravens via MLFootball’s X account.
“Mixture of schematics guys playing fast. Simple defensive things like guys doing their job, trusting everybody to do their job and tackling. Tackling is huge,” Watt said.

The showdown between the Steelers and Ravens will likely be the best matchup of Week 11, along with the Buffalo Bills playing host to the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
It’ll be interesting to see which teams prevail on Sunday and what it will mean for the playoff picture in the AFC.
