Titans vs. Steelers: 4 key matchups for Week 9

Shaun Calderon takes a look at four key matchups to watch during the Week 9 game between the Titans and Steelers.

The Tennessee Titans have a massive game later tonight when they head into a hostile environment to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Following their Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh enters the day with a 4-3 record and in a three-way tie for second place in their division, although the Steelers currently hold the tiebreakers over the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.

After sitting in fourth place in the AFC South going into Week 8, the Titans find themselves in third place after beating the Atlanta Falcons. Tennessee has the potential to jump into second place if the team can leave Pittsburgh with a 4-4 record.

But that won’t be easy, as the Titans have yet to win a game away from Nissan Stadium this season and haven’t beaten the Steelers since 2013.

There are a ton of matchups in this contest that will play a huge role in deciding the outcome. Here are the most important ones to keep an eye on.
