The Saints head to Pittsburgh in desperate need of a win, but that's not anything. Can the result be different this time around?
Andy Dalton will start at QB, but he'll be without two key players on the OL in front of him. But it could be the defensive side of the ball that decides this game, with a veteran group hoping to harass rookie Kenny Pickett on a chilly day in Pittsburgh.

SAINTS PLAYER TO WATCH: LB Demario Davis leads the club with a career-high six sacks — all on periodic inside blitzes. His 50 solo or assisted tackles this season include eight total tackles for loss. He also has a fumble recovery.
STEELERS PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Jaylen Warren. The undrafted rookie free agent has been one of the few bright spots on an offense that is languishing near the bottom of the league. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin has intimated Warren may take on a larger role with starter Najee Harris struggling. Warren is averaging 5.3 yards per carry, compared to 3.3 for Harris.
KEY MATCHUP: Steelers premier edge rusher T.J. Watt against the Saints offensive line, which is banged up after allowing four sacks against Baltimore last week. The Saints could be playing with right guard Cesar Ruiz filling in at center and with backups at both guard spots, putting a premium on the abilities of right tackle Ryan Ramczyk and left tackle James Hurst to avoid confusion with the players filling in alongside them during Pittsburgh pass-rush packages.
