The Steelers look to break their streak of losing the first game following a bye week against the Rams this week. Kenny Pickett gets another weapon back with wide receiver Diontae Johnson back from IR. This is going to be a big test for the secondary trying to contain wide receiver Puka Nucua and Cooper Kupp.

Steelers Players to Watch: Week 5 vs Ravens

by James Layton

The Steelers season hasn’t been going the way we all thought it would be following the impressive pre-season showing they had. Matt Canada has gone back to his old ways of play calling. The defense has been struggling to stop the pass and being consistent in stopping the run.

This is going to be a big game for the offense to somehow bounce back to how they were looking during the pre-season. Or else this is going to be along rest of the season.

Rookie OT Broderick Jones is going to be making his first start today. This is looking to be a good team for him to go up against, since they don’t have a clear cut stand out pass rusher.

The running backs are going on their game today in pass blocking. The Ravens like to bring the blitz with their secondary players. Safety Kyle Hamilton is their leader in sacks with three, even though they all came in one game. But that is going to something to look for.

Let’s get into the players to watch.

Offense

  • 8 Kenny Pickett, QB
  • 22 Najee Harris, RB
  • 14 George Pickens, WR
  • 11 Allen Robinson, WR
  • 83 Connor Heyward, TE
  • 80 Darnell Washington, TE
  • 87 Rodney Williams, TE
  • 71 Nate Herbig, G
  • 77 Boderick Jones, OT

Defense

  • 95 Keeanu Benton, NT
  • 96 Breiden Fehoko, DT
  • 99 Larry Ogunjobi, DT
  • 90 TJ Watt, OLB
  • 93 Mark Robinson, ILB
  • 55 Cole Holcomb, ILB
  • 44 Markus Golden, OLB
  • 24 Joey Porter Jr, CB
  • 39 Minkah Fitzpatrick, FS
  • 23 Damontae Kazee, SS
