Pittsburgh Steelers vs Chicago Bears | Week 12 Game Preview

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Chicago Bears | Week 12 Game Preview

It’s a battle between the Kings of the North, Pittsburgh on the road in this one. Steelers at six and four after taking care of business versus Cincinnati. Pittsburgh after starting four and one and being one and three in their last four games needed this one as well. They are off to Chicago to take on the seven and three Bears. At some point there can’t be any more nail left to bite off, right? And it is good. The comeback kids Chicago Bears do it again. Five of Chicago’s seven wins this year have drawn the attention of Detective McNalty. It’s mustsee TV cuz you never know how they’ll pull it off next. Here’s the running tally. a blocked field goal, late game fumble recovery, crazy long TD pass, big TD run from the quarterback, last week’s wire job, a huge kickoff return that set up a game-winning field goal and covered for a faulty offense. Duet, look at this across the 50 and a huge return. Bears O only able to muster 19 points. They have a 25 point per game average. Caleb Williams unable to build off his nice week 10 outing. Week 11, 16 of 32 passing for just 6 yards per attempt, only 193 yards, no TDs, which all factored in to his 68 rating. Here is Williams. Pressure in his face, throwing deep has DJ Moore and he overthrew him. Caleb’s completion percentage under 60 three straight games, rate under 84, four of his last five. Doesn’t always get the help he deserves with his pass catchers dropping passes. So, if you want to look at it as it’s the passing attack and not Williams, to each his own. Either way, Williams and company face a Pittsburgh secondary that just cooled off Joe Flacco and Jamar Chase. Both who hit that game with swag on their side. Picked Flacco off only one touchdown, just 199 yards on a measly 5 yardds per attempt, a 68 rating. It’s intercepted. It’s picked off by Duggar. He’s got room to roam. That brought their rate allowed for the year down to an even 90. They are last in yards per game allowed, but it’s because they’ve faced the most pass attempts in the NFL, which does mean more chances for TJ Watt and company to do their thing. 33 sacks for the season as a team, third most. Only one sack of Flaco on 40 pass attempts. Now they have to try and chase down Houdini. Caleb should be cast in the next Now You See Me Now You Don’t. Took two sacks versus Minnesota. should have taken like four or five. Williams in trouble. Van Ginkle brings him down. Despite their lack of flacco bags, Pittsburgh’s defense sort of comes off a shut out. Gave up 12 points but accounted for 14. So really they were good for minus two points. The ball jard free picked up Pierre. He’ll take it in. It is a touchdown. Steelers DBs gave up a touchdown and 63 yds to T. Higgins. gave Jamar Chase the business. Just 30 yards, 10 targets. Chase Brown 28 yards on eight targets. Bears don’t have a chase of any kind. Steelers corners will chase around Roma Dunes, though. 41 yds, two catches versus the Vikings. Williams zips one over the middle. Oh, perfect throw to Adun. Laser beam. And they have two tight ends to track. Coloulston Lovelin, 40 yards a week ago. He’s getting more looks on a regular basis now. Underneath they go to Loveland. Way to go. Oh, and he’s going to get there. Oh, and he’s still going. And Cole KT led them with 45 yards, a yard short of his season high. Side he comes and it’s Cole KT makes his first catch or he gets popped. The most consistent performer of their offense though, the last five to six games. DeAndre Swift, 90 yards versus the purple guys, 80 plus yards in four of his last five. They’ll run it to Swift dancing around. Breaks a couple tackles. Oh, good run. He could lead the way again versus Pittsburgh as they gave up 99 yards on 5.5 a carry to Brown along the ground. Chase Brown gets the call swerving and accelerates into the secondary. He made a miss. Can’t forget about Williams who uses his escape abilities to take off sometimes which he’s done plenty of recently. Unlike his counterpart if he plays that is Aaron Rogers hurt his hand last week. It’s a small fracture. He was looking good before he left. 106 rate, nine of 15 passing, 116 yards and a touchdown. Rogers with a touchdown pass number 522. If he can’t go, it is that time of the year when Rudolph tends to come to the rescue. Mason came off the bench last week and threw for 127 yards on 7.9 per attempt, a touchdown, a 118 rating. Here they come. Get a catch made downfield. 18 yd pickup. Whoever goes draws a Grinchy defense. They’ll steal the Who stockings, their Who pudding, their whole who feast, and if they have a football, they’d take that for sure. No team with more thefts this year. McCarthy going deep for it all. End zone. Intercepted. They added two more takeaways on interceptions last week. They held Minnesota to three for 11 on third down. They are the second hardest team to move the sticks against big picture. still giving up 26 points a game, but heading in the right direction after holding the Giants and Vikings under 20 the last two games held JJ McCarthy to 150 yards on 16 of 32 passing under five yds per attempt to just a 47 rate. Gets hit as he throws. Throws into a crowd and it is oh nearly intercepted again. Bears DBs kept Justin Jefferson to 61 yds. That’s a win against that dude. Just 20 yards allowed to Jordan Addison. Still, Pittsburgh’s offense generally more potent than Minnesota’s. Vikes a 21 point a game outfit. Steelers average 24 a game, good for 34 in their win over the Bengals. Second goal. Breaks the tackle right there of Burks and goes in for six. Bears would love to get Jaylen Johnson back at corner. He’s supposed to be close. He could jump back in and cover DK Metaf 49 yards last week. There goes the pass. DK Metaf fast midfield. hasn’t topped 56 yards in five straight games. Tight end Darnell Washington did though just last week. 67 yards. Just an FYI, Chicago. He’s a grown ass man. The muscular tight end Washington running rough shot. Wow. It’s like watching a pack of Smurfs trying to tackle the Hulk. And running back Kenneth Gainwell, Pittsburgh’s top pass catcher week 11. Two touchdowns, seven catches, 81 yards. Nice one-handed snare. Got a block on the plate. Swerving inside the 10. Gainwell didn’t do much on the ground. Jaylen Warren did though. 62 yards on a smooth 6.2 a run. Can’t bring him down. What a run. Galloping for 35. 4.7 or better in five of his last six. Plenty of incentive to load up on him. Bears gave up 70 yards. 4.4 for a carry to Aaron Jones, 45 yards on 7.5 per and a score to Jordan Mason, giving out 5.2 and attempt on the season. So, nothing new there. Stick with the run. It’s Mason to tackle Jordan Mason in. Steelers Bears first got in the ring together in 1934. Chicago beat Pittsburgh the first 10 times they met. Let’s check out their 1971 battle. 1971 was a critical year for the Bears hoped to end a string of two consecutive losing seasons. But through nearly 53 minutes of the game, the Bears were frustrated at every turn. Every apparent opening was snuffed out while the Steelers built a 15-3 lead late in the fourth period and Edradovich tackle shook the ball loose from Warren Bton. Ross Breubacher scooped up the fumble and ran 30 yds for the first touchdown. 49 seconds left. Third down. A Knicks lofted one to George Farmer and the rally was complete. The Bears had scored 14 points in less than four minutes and set the trend for a series of bear comeback victories in 1971.
