Pittsburgh got embarrassed in New England to open its 2019 season, and the Steelers are looking to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole. Of course, there’s probably no need to panic no matter what. Since NFL realignment in 2002, 126 of the 204 playoff teams (61.8 percent) began the year at either 1-1 or 0-2, including 10 teams last season, the most since 2002, and six division champions.
Week 2 NFL PICKS:Against the spread | Straight-up picks
The Seahawks barely beat the Bengals last week, and they gave up 429 yards against Cincinnati, including almost 400 in the air. That’s good news for Pittsburgh and its No. 1 receiver. Juju Smith-Schuster has 2,421 receiving yards and 14 receiving touchdowns in 31 career games. Smith-Schuster, who will be 22 years and 297 days old Sunday, needs 79 receiving yards against Seattle to surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss (22 years, 310 days) as the youngest player in NFL history to reach 2,500 career receiving yards.
These teams, which met in Super Bowl 40 back in 2006, haven’t played each other since 2015, and they haven’t played in Pittsburgh since 2011.
