The Tennessee Titans (9-4) will travel to Heinz Field in Week 15 to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6-1), a team looking to keep its already shaky playoff hopes alive.
These two teams last met in 2020 in a game that was postponed and rescheduled due to the Titans’ COVID-19 outbreak. Pittsburgh would eventually secure the victory over Tennessee in Week 7, 27-24.
One of the more notable quotes of the week came from Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who expressed regret for not drafting Titans safety, Kevin Byard, who has become one of the best at his position in the NFL.
“Can’t say enough about [Byard] at safety. He was a ball guy when he came out of [Middle Tennessee State]. I kicked myself often. When you think about a guy like him that’s played the way he’s played since he’s been in the league. He was a non-combine invite with 19 career interceptions at Middle Tennessee. I know better. A guy that has double-digit interceptions in college, usually the ball is not hitting him in the face. They have some skills that are displayed. They’re going to get it.”
Let’s see what else the Steelers had to say about the Titans during the week leading up to their game on Sunday.
