2. Amari Cooper goes for 125 yards, two touchdowns

Throughout the first two weeks of the season, there’s been an area of major concern for the Steelers, an inability to slow down their opponent’s top wideout. Not only did they have a hard time but each player that lit them up in the first two weeks had a completely different outcome when playing against another opponent.

Cincinnati wideout Ja’Marr Chase had 10 receptions for 129 yards with a touchdown against Pittsburgh to open the season. He followed this up with just five receptions for 54 yards with no scores against Dallas in Week 2.

For New England, Nelson Agholor was a non-factor in Week 1 with just 28 yards on three receptions but then looked like an All-Pro against Pittsburgh this past weekend. Agholor pulled down six receptions for 110 yards with a touchdown as the Patriots beat the Steelers by three.

All of this bodes incredibly well for Amari Cooper who just had his first 100-yard game of the season against New York after catching nine of 10 targets. Cooper is easily one of the best route-runners in the game and when Brissett was throwing the ball accurately to him, he was having his way with the Jets’ defensive backs.

Expect more of the same as he hangs at least 125 yards on Pittsburgh while also crossing the goal line twice.
