Julio Jones is averaging 2.92 yards per route run this year, which is the fourth-best rate for a wide receiver in the past four years. The only three player/seasons ahead of him are Julio Jones in 2015, Julio Jones in 2016 and Julio Jones in 2017
Mitch Trubisky has attempted 71 passes in a Steelers uniform. Just 10 of those have traveled over 20 air yards and 15 of them have been at or behind the line of scrimmage.
The
#Bills
defense has been on the field for 20 second half drives. They have given up points on just one of those drives. In the 3rd quarter of games, Buffalo is outscoring their opponents 44-0.
The
#Steelers
D has gotten killed by slot guys…I think Minkah fixes that as well as adding leadership/character…could also be S Davis replacement at FS…versatility…also tells me that they love Rudolph, which I kinda already knew
The
#Steelers
have five real draft picks (5 in top 119)…four will likely be OT, OC, WR & CB….bad DT draft, but could maybe go that route for right guy…maybe QB
The
#49ers
are the only defense that create a sack at a higher % of opposing dropbacks than
#Bills
. BUF is sacking opposing QBs on 10.2% of their passing attempts. The Bills have achieved this despite blitzing just 8.8%, the lowest blitz rate in the
#NFL
.
Kenny Pickett is completing 73.1% of his passes when using play action, 7th best in the league amongst qualified QBs. But Pickett has only attempted 26 passes using play action, the 32nd most amongst all QBs.

Trade terms, per sources:
🏈Steelers get pick No. 98 and two 2025 7th-round picks.
🏈Eagles get QB Kenny Pickett and No. 120.
It’s a similar value to Washington got for Sam Howell.
This needs to change:
George Pickens has not had more than six targets in a game since Week 5, averaging 2.9 catches and 43.5 yards per game during that span.
Over his last three games, Chase Claypool has 17 catches for 296 yards. Over Diontae Johnson’s last three games, he has 20 receptions for 269 yards.

Weird: Kenny Pickett’s 98.5 passer rating when pressured is fourth-best among QBs, but his 66.7 passer rating when NOT pressured is by far the worst among QBs.

There aren’t great
#Steelers
QB options of course and I am certainly intrigued with trading for Fields at a discount price, but I am also really warming up to: 1. Wilson 2. Tannehill 3. Rookie with upside…2 professional QBs to influence/teach a young offense
Mason Rudolph has attempted 74 passes this season. Of all passers with at least 74 pass attempts, 52 passers overall, Rudolph ranks first in completion percentage (74.3%), first in yards per attempt (9.72), and first in quarterback rating (118.0).
#Steelers
The Steelers' defensive front — which seems to rank 1st in every stat imaginable — has been the best position group in the NFL so far.
I talked to defensive coordinator Keith Butler about the blend of talent and scheme that makes this group special.
Pickett has completed 87% of his passes when targeting Freiermuth. Freiermuth has been targeted on 25% of his routes. That is the 3rd highest amongst all TEs that have run at least 100 routes. And Freiermuth’s 1.89 yards per route run is fourth best amongst TEs
#Steelers
What if
#Giants
send a 2nd for Rosen & use their two 1sts on defensive players...including Peppers, you add three very young pieces on D & if Rosen busts, go QB next year
Since 2010, the
@steelers
have now drafted NINE WRs in the Top 100 overall, the most in the
#NFL
….league average during that stretch is 5
@dlolley_pgh
Huge believer here that Missed FG = Turnover...so I combined the two from regular season....wanna know HUGE reason
#Vikings
&
#Steelers
didn't go to post season? Vikes missed
#NFL
leading 10 FGs & only
#49ers
&
#Buccaneers
were worse than Steelers (-30) in Turnovers + FG Misses
The
#Ravens
should have signed Kaepernick long ago…I honestly think Baltimore has the very worst QB situation in
#NFL
when you consider $$$ spent, play on the field & what is waiting for the future
