The Steelers will stay in Pittsburgh and welcome in the other New York squad, the Giants for a Week 8 matchup.
The Pittsburgh Steelers transitioned to Russell Wilson last week and it paid off in a 37-15 drumming of the Jets. Wilson tossed two touchdowns, ran for another score, and threw for 264 yards. Pittsburgh is 5-2 and atop of the AFC North standings despite not playing a divisional opponent. This is the Steelers’ final game before the bye week.
The New York Giants were pummeled 28-3 by the Eagles in the Saquon Barkley revenge game. Sitting at 2-5 and last in the NFC East, not much has gone right for the Giants, especially in the last two weeks. Against Cincinnati and Philadelphia, New York combined for 10 total points and surrendered 45.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Russell Wilson Under Passing Yards on Monday Night Football:
“The Pittsburgh Steelers won last week as an underdog thanks to the terrific play of Russell Wilson (264 yards, 3 total TDs), but that cannot be expected every week.
That was the debut of Wilson and of course, Mike Tomlin wanted to utilize the veteran as much as possible and give him confidence. Well, it worked and now Wilson’s passing yards prop surely will open above 190 yards.
If it opens above 200 yards, I would pounce on that Under. Najee Harris is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games and Jaylen Warren (season-high 44 rushing yards last week) is getting healthier week by week.
I expect the Steelers to run the ball a heavy amount on Monday Night Football after what Saquon Barkley just did to the Giants. Give me Wilson’s Under Passing Yards against the Giants.”
