Steelers Week 15 MV3's

Well, this stinks. At least the three games the Steelers lost were close and could've gone either way. The Steelers were outplayed, outcoached, and outmatched. AJ Brown continues his domination against Pittsburgh with 110 receiving yards and a touchdown, DeVonta Smith also has over 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Jalen Hurts throws nearly 300 yards with very few mistakes. The Steelers remained in first place and even clinched a playoff spot. But a division title will be decided next week. But for now, who made the loss a little easier to take? Let's find out!

Honorable Mentions:

Pat Freiermuth - 3 rec, 22 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD

Russell Wilson - 14/22, 128 passing yards, 1 passing TD, 4 carries, 13 rushing yards

Patrick Queen - 11 tackles, 1 QB Hit

#3: Calvin Austin III - 5 rec, 65 receiving yards

The second seed receiver is a top-speed achiever. The Steelers looked for the second string with George Pickens down with a hamstring. Three plays went ten or more yards, even a 31-yarder from Austin. The Steelers do miss the hands of Pickens, but at least it's nice to know the former Memphis Tiger remains a solid option for Pittsburgh.

#2: Alex Highsmith - 8 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL, 1 QB Hit

Highsmith remains in the top three from last week, continuing with bangers at the edge. A sack by Highsmith towards the end of the second half would help the Steelers keep the momentum after being down 3-17 but scoring ten points and keeping the game close. For that moment, at least. But still, Highsmith's return will keep things frosty on the defensive side.

#1: T.J Watt - 7 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 TFL, 2 QB Hits, 1 forced fumble

At this point, saying TJ Watt was the best player is like going outside now and saying, "It's a bit chilly." But yes, despite the injury scare that would've resulted in the Steelers receiving ankle bones in the mail, Watt remained the best player on the team with a forced fumble on Jalen Hurts that led to a field goal...after a muffed punt. This team is weird. But the hopeful news is Watt will be active Saturday in arguably the season's biggest game.

December 21st, 4:30 PM, Saturday, M&T Bank Stadium. After being embarrassed by a bird team in their nest that recently made the conference championship round, the Steelers will face a bird team in their nest that made the conference championship round recently. The Steelers trot on in the gauntlet as they write the next chapter in the best rivalry in the league. If the Steelers win, the division is theirs; if the Ravens win, the next two weeks will decide the division, with Baltimore facing Houston and Cleveland and Pittsburgh facing Kansas City and Cincinnati. The Ravens haven't beaten the Steelers in Baltimore since 2019. There are a lot of storylines with only one goal—the AFC North division—a showdown in Mob Town.
