The strength of the Pittsburgh Steelers is undoubtably their pass rush. T.J. Watt might be the best in the league. Beyond him, Alex Highsmith, Cam Heyward, and even young players like Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton are great at getting after the quarterback. In their first game of the season, they might need those players to show up often.
Appearing on The Mina Kimes Show, ESPN’s Benjamin Solak explained why he thinks the Steelers need to heavily pressure Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Sunday in order to win.
“That Falcons line is good, but Cousins is a pretty unmoving target there in the pocket, and he’s a 36-year-old coming off an Achilles,” Solak said.
