Steelers-Saints NFL Week 10: Watt You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA — How far have the Steelers' fortunes have fallen? Here's how far: They are underdogs at home to a team that's nearly as awful as they are.

The New Orleans Saints come marching in to Acriscure Stadium on Sunday boasting an unimpressive 3-5 record. The Steelers come off of their bye week after a dreadful first half of the season boasting a 2-6 record.

The Saints are led by journeyman quarterback Andy Dalton, whom the Steelers used to thrash regularly when he was with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Steelers were, you know, good. They are not good at the moment, but should receive a significant boost with the expected return from injury of linebacker T.J. Watt.

Patch's prediction: The Steelers will eke out a win at home.
