Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has claimed the team need more luck in front of goal after losing 1-0 to Inter Milan – the second straight game they have failed to score in. Hakan Calhanoglou’s first half penalty – Inter’s only shot on target – was enough to give the Italian side all three points at the San Siro and leave Arsenal rueing their failure to turn dominance into goals. Kai Havertz arguably had Arsenal’s best chance of the game as the ball fell to him inside the six-yard box – only to see his shot deflected wide. Arsenal were beaten…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-2 through their first eight games with a mix of Justin Fields and Russell Wilson under center. While many anticipated that Pittsburgh would improve this season, not many had them beating out the Baltimore Ravens in their own division half way through the 2024 campaign. TJ Watt has been a center piece not only for this defense, but this entire team. He has solidified himself as one of the best defenders in the entire league and plays like it on a weekly basis. However, could there be a way that Watt isn’t able to suit up…
