Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well.
Rest up this weekend as the Pittsburgh Steelers are riding high into their bye week. Sitting at 6-2 and guaranteed to remain in first place through Week 9, the team earned another primetime win Monday night with a 26-18 victory over the New York Giants. QB Russell Wilson had another quality showing while RB Najee Harris continues to roll with his third-straight 100-yard game.
While the defense faltered against the run, they came up with two crucial fourth quarter takeaways. T.J. Watt, despite Giants RT Jermaine Eluemunor’s belief, had a solid outing and came up clutch with a strip sack/recovery to make up for Wilson’s fumble plays before.
