Meanwhile, the Falcons fell just short against the Washington Commanders in a 19-13 Week 12 loss. Quarterback Marcus Mariota threw an interception with seconds remaining on the game clock to seal the deal. Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus paced the offense with 91 receiving yards on 5 catches.

Steelers vs Falcons Prediction &am p; Pick
The Falcons' playoff hopes are dwindling at this point in the season and they desperately need a win. They run into a nightmare matchup, though. Atlanta has posted the second-highest rushing play percentage in the NFL (56.3%), but Pittsburgh has posted the eighth-best rush defense DVOA rating.
If the Falcons are forced to rely on the passing attack, they could be in trouble. Atlanta has posted a QB sacked percentage of 8.91%, which ranks 29th in the NFL. Going up against the likes of TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward is a scary thought for Mariota as well as the pass-blockers in front of him.
The Steelers are 12-1-1 in their last 14 games against the F alcons, so I like Pittsburgh here.
Final Score Prediction:'Steelers: 23 | Falcons: 20
