STEELERS QB GRADE AGAINST
The Steelers had some issues with their run defense in Week 8, but they’ve still been elite overall. They’re on top of the AFC North, and with their offense rolling, they could be dangerous. Pro Football Focus just helped put into perspective how good the Steelers defense has been.
As seen on PFF’s Twitter, the Steelers haven’t allowed a quarterback grade over 67.5 this season. That’s incredible, considering they’ve faced players like Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, and Justin Herbert. They have some fantastic quarterbacks left on their schedule, though, so we’ll see if they can keep that up.
DIONTAE JOHNSON WITH RAVENS
When the Steelers traded Diontae Johnson earlier this year, they probably didn’t expect him to end up with the Baltimore Ravens during the middle of the season. This is unfortunate, especially because the Steelers still need a receiver. However, the situation is what it is now, although seeing Johnson in Ravens gear still might sting.
It looks like Johnson isn’t wasting much time. The Ravens just traded for him, but he’s already getting work in with them. Seeing him in the jersey still doesn’t look right, though.
COORS LIGHT STEELERS CAN
Sometimes, when quarterbacks make calls at the line of scrimmage, some of the verbiage can sound strange. It’s also fun to listen to what words quarterbacks use as signals. During Russell Wilson’s first start of the year, a microphone picked him up using the beer brand Coors Light as a call. Now, it looks like Coors Light is trying to capitalize on the moment.
As seen on My Beer Buzz, Coors Light is releasing a can to commemorate Wilson’s call. The can is even priced at $19.33, which was the year the Steelers were founded. For those of you of age, it might be a fun souvenir to have.
