After a game there are players who impress and some who disappoint. This is where our weekly “Winners and Losers” column was born. Sometimes being labeled a loser is a bit harsh, but ultimately there are players every game who simply don’t measure up to “the standard”.
Time to diagnose who falls into which category for the Pittsburgh Steelers after the Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Winners
Shazier is a playmaker, and although the Steelers defense is much improved, he seems to be the only one making game-changing plays. His forced fumble/interception against the Jaguars is usually a play which turns the tide in Pittsburgh’s favor; however, when the quarterback throws 5 interceptions your one measly turnover will resemble throwing a pebble into the Ohio River thinking it will somehow slow down.
