There’s a reason why the Pittsburgh Steelers have been so successful against rookie quarterbacks, earning another win Sunday against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. Pittsburgh’s defense was dominant, stuffing the run and giving Nix little to work with. He finished the game completing well under 60-percent of his passes with no touchdowns, two interceptions, and only picked up chunks of yardage late in the game when Denver was desperately clawing back.
For Pittsburgh, that was all part of their plan. Appearing on Steve Smith’s podcast in a Wednesday episode, Underdog Fantasy reporter James Palmer said Steelers corners knew exactly what to expect against Nix and the Broncos.
