Stats: Devin Bush already entering elite company alongside Lambert, Ham

Last December, as Keenan Allen and the Chargers tore up Heinz Field, one thing became painfully clear: The Steelers were too slow and athletically overmatched at inside linebacker.

On Sunday night, the man tasked with changing that narrative -- the one the team jumped into the 2019 NFL Draft's top ten picks to select -- made something else thing clear: Devin Bush has arrived, and it's a new era for a turnover-hungry Steelers defense.

After a few welcome-to-the-NFL moments during the first few games, when he was a fraction of a second slow in reading offensive schemes, Bush has transformed into the kind of sideline-to-sideline playmaker that the Steelers envisioned.
