Stat Line: 41 points surrendered, 533 total yards, 33 first downs This might have been one of the more disappointing stat lines after the game. I know the Steelers were playing catch up in the second half, but they couldn’t establish the run well in the first half. Stat Line: 18 carries, 55 yards, 3.1 yard average, 1 TDĥ5 yards going against the 32nd ranked rush defense. Herbert was able to pick apart the Steelers’ back up defense, and put himself on display in prime time for the nation to see. The kid is good, and I mean really good, but the Steelers didn’t do much in form of a resistance. Speaking of Herbert, just look at that stat line. Stat Line: Herbert: 30/41, 382 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT / 9 rushes for 90 yards They happened, and the Steelers rush defense continues to be an eye sore for the once proud group. Some will say, “But if you take away Herbert’s 90 yards.” But you can’t. Stat Line: 159 yards surrendered, 6.1 yards per carry averageĪnother day where the Steelers are unable to corral the opponent’s running attack. Watt, and we all should have expected this to happen.
The Steelers’ pass rush was awful without T.J.
When things broke down, Herbert took to the ground and was able to do plenty of damage with his legs. Only getting home to Justin Herbert twice, and only five quarterback hits allowed Justin Herbert to feel right at home in the pocket. Whatever the reason, if he continues to play like he has, the Steelers should consider giving more of his reps to Robert Spillane. Maybe his groin injury still plagues him. Maybe he doesn’t trust the knee as he should. I’m not even sure what to pinpoint in Bush’s play which has him land on the loser list, but he looks like a shell of his former self. That shows how stellar the 3rd down offense was on Sunday night.
Pressley Harvin III only punted the ball one time. If they can continue on this upward trajectory, and continue those time-consuming drives, they will be a tough team to beat. 500 I desire, but the Steelers’ third down offense was much improved on the road in Week 11. Heyward was the long All-Pro/Pro Bowler on the Steelers’ defense, and he continued to find ways to help contribute. His batted pass led to a Cam Sutton interception, and it turned the tide in the game. Heyward was bottled up for most of the game, but when a play needed to be made, it was Heyward who delivered. Stat Line: 2 tackles, 2 solo, 1 pass defense Stat Line: 3-for-3 for FG, 45-yard long, 4-for-4 extra pointsĪnother week of Boswell perfection. Johnson and Roethlisberger already have a connection, but it is getting into that scary good range at this point. The only thing which might have topped it was his touchdown reception. Johnson’s back shoulder catch, while being interfered with, was a thing of beauty. Stat Line: 7 receptions, 101 yards, 1 TD, 14.4 average, 32 yard long, 13 targetsġ3 targets might be a bit much for my liking, but Diontae Johnson did a tremendous job in Los Angeles. Outside of the underthrown pass to Chase Claypool, I thought Roethlisberger played one of his best games of the season. It wasn’t enough to get the win, but Roethlisberger was not the reason the Steelers lost this football game. Stat Line: 28/44, 273 yards, 6.1 yard average, 3 TD, 0 INT, 3 sacks, 103.7 Ratingīen Roethlisberger, all things considered, had a tremendous game for the Steelers after not practicing all week due to being in the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols. Let’s check in to see who fell on which side of the ledger after the first game of the preseason. It may sound harsh, but it is the crux of this exercise. Players who play well can be considered ‘Winners’, while those who left a lot to be desired can be called ‘Losers’. The Steelers were losers in the contest, but that doesn’t mean every player had a bad performance. The Pittsburgh Steelers were back on the field Sunday when they played the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11 of regular season action.
