Get ready for yet another "narrative buster" game.
I know I get tons of rolling eyes emojis when I post this, so let me explain what I mean.
So often, usually even, the thing that is not supposed to happen happens in the NFL. This is NOT because "the league is rigged" or any nonsense like that. It's because every team is full of pros who are the best in the world at what they do, and they have pride and can beat you in any given week. There's also such a small margin between good and bad.
Narrative: Both Bills tackles out= Watt is going to feast!
Narrative Buster: the OL will protect Allen well. Watt does very little.
Narrative: The Bills passing game is a mess.
Narrative Buster: The WR will come up huge today.
Narrative: The high powered Steelers DL will dominate a banged up Bills OL
Narrative Buster: The Bills OL will do a great job and mitigate the DL.
Narrative: The Bills run defense is a mess
Narrative Buster: The Bills run defense will shut down the Steelers run game
The only things you can count on in this game are:
Rodgers comes up small in big games
Tomlin punts whenever he can
