While Marcus Gilbert was not on the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first meeting this season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he was, at least, standing on the sideline as an observer. The right tackle was recovering from a hamstring injury that dogged him through much of the first half of the season, and could only stand idly by as his teammates struggled.
While it wouldn’t be fair to place the burden on Gilbert’s replacement, Chris Hubbard, it is true that the offensive line—and the tight ends, and the running backs—had trouble containing the Jaguars’ pass rush.
