This is why you have a guy like Reynolds, who's a good WR4. He can fill in and be a good outside option. He's not the same speed/deep threat as Cooks of course. But he does offer good size and ability to run a lot of routes. Kupp and Woods will continue doing what they do. Everett can also be used on deeper routes- Goff just hasn't hit him on any yet this season... With Fitzpatrick having an All-Pro year at safety throwing outside the numbers next Sunday may be the best way to go.
I do agree that in the end it will be about the Rams OL vs. Steelers front 7. Cam Heyward is strong as a bull up the middle so how do they handle that? Watt, Dupree, etc. off the edges means Whitworth and Havenstein have to be on their games. Gurley will have a lot of blocking assignments.
The Steelers defense has forced 20 turnovers in their past 6 games and a big focus area for the Rams' offense has to be zero turnovers this week.
I think the Rams defense can contain the Steelers' offense. After all Pittsburgh has had just one game all year apart from the Dolphins game where they've had 300+ yards. They haven't been good in the red zone (28th) or on 3rd downs (21st). Can the Rams get to Rudolph? Steelers have allowed just 8 sacks all year.
