On to Week 15 of the 2021 NFL season, the Tennessee Titans have an opportunity to clinch the AFC South with a win and an Indianapolis Colts loss. Standing in their way? The Pittsburgh Steelers.
These two teams have had historic matchups over the years in a rivalry that dates back to the Titans’ days as the Houston Oilers. This will be the 80th meeting between these two teams between regular season and postseason matchups.
Fast forward to this season, the Steelers are trying to keep their season alive with a 6-6-1 record, sitting in last place in the AFC North Division.
Under center since 2004, Ben Roethlisberger has been a pillar in the Steelers’ offense. This year, though, he’s been sacked 30 times behind a young offensive line in what could be his final year in the NFL.
The Titans are coming off a good — but not great — 20-0 shutout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, but they have not beaten Pittsburgh in the last three meetings between these teams.
Here’s what the Titans are saying about the Steelers leading up to Sunday’s contest.
