The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) meet a struggling and weak New York Giants on Monday night. The Steelers are walking into Acrisure once again as the thirty-three-year record harks in the background.
The Steelers-Giants game would be a walk down the memory lane for both teams. The Steelers, of how far they have come and the Giants, a memorable year. The 1990 season champions Giants recorded a win at the Three Rivers Stadium on a Monday in 1991 October against the Steelers. Matt Bahr secured their victory with a 44-yard field goal, leaving just four seconds on the clock for a final score of 23-20. It has been 33 years and 13 days since that day, the last home loss for the Steelers on a Monday night.
The Giants are on a two-game losing streak, scoring only 10 points over the past two weeks. In Week 7 at MetLife Stadium, Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a commanding 28-3 win before the Giants’ home crowd.
The Giants management has been under fire for the poor performances (2-5) for their choices throughout the season including not benching quarterback Daniel Jones, non-firing of Brian Daboll, and also the whole Malik Nabers incident the other day.
The Steelers have bounced back and stayed the course amid the quarterback change last week. Russell Wilson, who took over from Justin Fields shoved off the rust in no time leading the squad to a commanding win over the other New York metropolitan team, the Jets.

Why can the Pittsburgh Steelers win?
The Steelers have an elite defense as well as an offensive lineup with a quarterback at the centre. The New York Giants, offense, however, would be the biggest factor in the Steelers’ win. The Giants could be no match for a defense that has proven its worth and brilliance throughout the season.
Although said in a different context, Mike Tomlin, the Steelers HC is paid expensively for a reason. The Steelers are pursuing their 18th winning season since Tomlin took over the reins. Similarly, the Steelers have the advantage of a perfect home record in MNFs and a 109-42-1 overall record at Acrisure Stadium.
Why can the New York Giants win?
The Giants’ path to victory against the Steelers lies in their defense, especially their aggressive pass rush. New York will rely heavily on its ability to pressure the quarterback to keep the Steelers offense in check.
The Giants’ defense has proven effective when on the attack, recording 15 sacks across their two wins. With the Steelers’ offensive line showing vulnerability, the Giants’ pass rush, led by a dominant Dexter Lawrence II, has the chance to control the game.
Additionally, cornerback Deonte Banks’ ability to contain wide receiver George Pickens will be crucial. With these defensive strengths, New York’s best shot at victory lies in stifling Pittsburgh’s offense. However, the Giants will also need their offense to be better than 10 combined points in two games.
