Steelers Week 11 MV3's

If you thought this would be an offensive game, you don't know this rivalry. The best rivalry in the NFL takes center stage. Both teams are looking for first place in the AFC North division, with the Steelers at 7-2 and the Ravens at 7-3. This matchup takes place at... 1 PM. Sure, NFL. But the Steelers prevail and get a BIG win against their heated rival in Pittsburgh. After the week of sports, it was nice to see some REAL fighting. Let's go over who delivered the more essential 1-2 punches.

Honorable Mentions:

George Pickens - 8 rec, 89 receiving yards

Cam Heyward - 4 tackles, 2 pass defenses, 1 QB hit

Payton Wilson - 2 tackles, 1 pass defended, 1 interception

#3: T.J Watt - 3 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL, 2 QB hits

After a silent performance last week versus the Commanders, Watt makes his presence known once again in the biggest game of the year so far for Pittsburgh. This performance included a big tackle for loss versus Derrick Henry in the third quarter and a sack on Lamar Jackson, which led to a punt in the fourth quarter. The Steelers needed a big-time playmaker in this game, and they got one. But he wasn't the best one, that would be...

#2: Patrick Queen - 10 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 FF, 1 FR

Patrick Queen was drafted 28th overall by Baltimore in 2020. Four years later, after Baltimore, according to Queen, "didn't want him back," Queen beat the team that didn't re-sign him in the offseason—and made sure Baltimore remembers it! A forced fumble and recovery on the same play led to a Steelers field goal that gave the black and gold brigade the lead, and considering Pittsburgh won by only two, in hindsight, this play was HUGE! A bunch of tackles later, Patrick Queen, in my eyes, is the defensive MV-3 of the game.

#1: Chris Boswell - 6/6 FGs (32, 52, 32, 57, 27, 50)

I asked earlier who delivered the best 1-2 punches. What about kicks? Chris Boswell is arguably the best kicker in the league right now. What other team will win with the kicker putting the team on his back---or leg? 3rd in field goals made, 2nd in field goal percentage, and 6th longest field goal made. Boswell is automatic and has had his best season thus far!

Next week, Pittsburgh will take on the 2-8 Cleveland Browns. Seems like an easy game, right? If you know the Steelers, this game could still be a nail-biter. AFC North games are always a must-see. It'll be an interesting one next week! .
