Keys to victory: To win, the Steelers must ...

1 Get a couple Joes. Sacking Burrow and stopping Mixon won’t be easy, but either one can do significant damage against the defense by air or by ground, so an all-around effort will be needed whenever they have the ball.

2 Tee it up for Kenny. Pass-protection must improve and playmaking downfield will be pivotal for Pickett to build on the second half he put together against the Saints, which ultimately helped him to his first wire-to-wire win in the NFL.

3 Wake up early. The Steelers have their first and only 4:25 p.m. game of the season, so they’ll need to stave off any afternoon haze and try to get their first win outside the early window — and third in a row at home.
