The Pittsburgh Steelers may have lost to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12, but that didn’t stop second-year OLB Nick Herbig from once again flashing his immense potential. He had the lone sack of the day against Jameis Winston, which came along with a big forced fumble at a critical time in the game.
Pro Football Focus gave him very high marks in the loss and ended up giving him its Defensive Player of the Week honors.
“Herbig was outstanding in the Steelers’ loss to the Browns on [Thursday] Night Football, earning an elite 94.6 PFF pass-rush grade,” Gordon McGuinness wrote for PFF.
