Kelce’s presence would not only take some heat off the much-maligned Kadarius Toney but it would create headaches for the Jaguars, who last season allowed 1,066 receiving yards to tight ends - a total exceeded by only three other teams. The Chiefs superstar tight end was limited in practice Wednesday, a positive sign as far as his chances of returning to the roster against the Jaguars. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0)ĬHEWABLE: Patrick Mahomes will be celebrating his 28th birthday on Sunday and there’s probably no present he’d like more than to be able to play some catch with Travis Kelce. He lost in that role last week and it’s not going to happen twice in a row. Also worth noting is Mike Tomlin’s record as an underdog, which is 51-28-3. I have faith that Kenny Pickett will rebound from his poor showing against the Niners, just as I have faith in some of these stats: Since the turn of the century the Steelers have won 38 of 43 meetings (plus one tie) with the Browns and are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 Monday night games. Watt champing at the bit … Bottom line is Steelers are not nearly as bad as they looked last week, while Browns received a break by playing Bengals with Joe Burrow not nearly himself. Deshaun Watson did not look good in the Browns 24-3 win over Cincinnati, and now he has to enter the home of a hungry host, minus one of his chief body protectors, with T.J. It doesn’t get any easy for the Steelers run defence with Nick Chubb coming to town … Also suffering a huge loss was the Browns, whose right tackle, Jack Conklin went down with a season-ending knee injury. Heyward has registered at least 10 sacks in each of the last two years, but he is equally if not more important to the Pittsburgh run defence, a point emphasized when he was off the field as Christian McCaffrey broke a 65-yard TD run. Hurting the Steelers even more is the groin injury suffered by stalwart defensive tackle Cameron Heyward. During his reign, other teams have recorded 400 yards 269 times … Moving the ball should be a tad more difficult this week, with top receiver Diontae Johnson sidelined by a hamstring injury he suffered against San Francisco. has been Matt Canada, who took the job in 2021. After Week 1’s awful 30-7 loss at home to the Niners, their team has now gone 49 consecutive games without reaching 400 total yards of offence. Not that the residents have anything against visitors from north of the border but because Steelers fans have to be furious at the mere mention of the word Canada. CHEWABLE: You might not want to mention you’re from Canada if you’re in Pittsburgh these days.
