Word of Muth: Steel Shotgun

The Steelers pulled themselves out of a three-game nose dive, including an embarrassing loss to an awful Raiders team, with a win at home against the Patriots last Sunday. It was a big, possibly season-saving win for a team that absolutely needed it. The Steelers never trailed in the game.

Like all wins, it was a team effort, but the offensive line was, in my opinion, the biggest part of the victory. They protected Ben Roethlisberger well (two sacks, neither of which was really their fault) and they cleared the way for 142 yards from Jaylen Samuels.
