Rosenthal: Steelers’ Key To Return To Super Bowl Is Finding Another Edge Rusher

They say you can never have too many pass rushers, and ‘they’ are pretty smart. The Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted three pass rushers in the first round alone within the past five years, but they are still looking for help on the edge. T.J. Watt looks like he might be the answer to one spot, but Anthony Chickillo is not, and Bud Dupree is not exactly locking down the other spot either.

In spite of the fact that the Steelers not only led the league in sacks, but set a new franchise record with 56, over the course of the 2017 regular season, and were one of the most successful teams in creating pressure, all of that went by the wayside during the biggest game of the season, when they struggled to get pressure on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round.
