Per #Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, Scotty Miller (finger) and Cole Holcomb (illness) are out this week.

Isaac Seumalo is still nursing a pec injury. Jabrill Peppers is battling his quad injury. Both should work towards returns.

Chuck Clark will return this week after dealing with an illness.

One clear advantage the #Steelers should have against the Chargers is their EDGE rushers.

With news that both tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater are out for the season, both Highsmith/Herbig and Watt should be able to get pressure on QB Justin Herbert.

The Raiders gave up a 4th and 6th round pick to get WR Jakobi Meyers. Based on this, the #Steelers made the right move not to trade for him.

If one were to consider the needs they have on defense, specifically in their secondary, they need to keep those picks.

One player that deserved more attention is #Steelers tackle Troy Fautanu.

Against the Colts, he surrendered ZERO sacks and ZERO pressures on 39 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

Interesting stats.

The #Steelers this season are 3-0 this season when tight end Darnell Washington plays 40+ snaps in a game.

Textbook play here by #Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr (bottom left).

Watch how he reads the quarterback the entire sequence. Notice how quickly he breaks on the ball when it's released, closes the distance and gets the pass deflection.

It's now official.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has signed with the #Steelers.

He is now reunited with Aaron Rodgers.

The big thing is that they've had success using their jumbo packages when running the football; he's a big part of their success in this realm. They're likely going to use Andrus Peat to play that role next to Anderson.

#Steelers Isaac Seumalo had a excellent game in their win over the Colts. The problems is that he reaggravated his pectoral injury and could be out for a longer period.

Hopefully, the team can get him back sooner than later.

What's scary about #Steelers LB Payton Wilson is that the speed of the game is slowing down, and his natural speed and athleticism is taking over - just like in his days at NC State.

We noted him as a future NFL star back in February, we stand by that statement.

They were never dead to begin with.

One thing fans should understand about their Steelers is that they're too stubborn to ever go away.. they'll always fight and find a way.

That said, there are other NFL teams that have it far worse, ask Saints fans.

We stated that one of the keys to a #Steelers win over the Colts, involved putting running back Jonathan Taylor in check.

They succeed in doing so by relegating him to just 45 rushing yards, his lowest mark of the season.

After two embarrassing loses, the #Steelers needed something to boost their morale. Fortunately, the defense came alive in a big way in their win over the 7-1 Colts.

If the #Steelers want to pull a big upset, here some keys:

🟡Minimize what Jonathan Taylor can do (good luck)
⚫Use the jumbo package to run the football
