The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) are off to visit the St. Louis Rams (1-1) at the Edward Jones Dome this Sunday for a 2015 NFL season Week 3 encounter.
Pittsburgh is coming off a 43-18 demolition of the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger dominated the Niners defense with three touchdown passes, going 21-of-27 for 369 yards and a rating of 155.8, as per PennLive.
The Steelers defense had also been remarkable, sacking San Francisco signal caller Colin Kaepernick five times during the game.
Meanwhile, the Rams are licking their chops after a 24-10 beat down in the hands of the Washington Redskins also last Sunday at the FedEx Field, via the Washington Post.
After defeating NFC champs Seattle Seahawks on opening day, Nick Foles struggled against a weaker Redskins defense.
Foles may get his bearings back together against Pittsburgh, though, which would lead to a high-scoring game that Roethlisberger and the Steelers would likely prevail.
Prediction: Steelers win, 42-35
