The Pittsburgh Steelers had a dominant pass rush during the first week of the season. They largely maintained that heading into week two, though the first-half loss of edge rusher T.J. Watt took quite a bit of the sting out of their attack. This past Sunday, their presence was hardly felt.
According to Derrek Tuszka, who was officially signed to the 53-man roster today, it wasn’t just because of who they were missing, which also included Alex Highsmith, Stephon Tuitt, and Tyson Alualu. It’s about what the Cincinnati Bengals themselves were doing.
