Lost among the euphoria of the Ravens’ playoff win over the Steelers was that Baltimore’s coverage got exposed again, Mike Preston writes.

The Steelers still have the foundation of an elite defense intact. T.J. Watt continues to play at an All-Pro level, even if nagging injuries limited him down the stretch. Alex Highsmith is a valuable counterpunch on the other edge. Cameron Heyward returned to form and paired with Keeanu Benton to create a beef-tastic, disruptive core up front.

Why they’ll win it all: The Bucs still have players from the 2020 title team who have now been a part of four consecutive playoff appearances, and they’ve gotten a lot younger around that core. Baker Mayfield’s a gamer and, as they’ve shown in December, they’re explosive and balanced on offense.
