The Pittsburgh Steelers had a tough time stopping the Cleveland Browns’ quick passing game last weekend, and it was one of the reasons they lost that matchup. Tomorrow, they once again go against an inexperienced quarterback in Jake Browning in a Cincinnati Bengals offense that could replicate that gameplan.
Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith met with the media this week and acknowledged that it will be crucial for the pass rushers to affect the passing game, not only by creating pressure but also by batting the quick passes down.
“I think we definitely can affect balls,” said Highsmith in an interview posted to the Steelers YouTube channel.
