The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and many of the headlines have predictably circled around Aaron Rodgers facing his former team. However, another avenue that’s crucial to a Steelers win this week is their ability to stop the run. That’s going to be difficult against Josh Jacobs, who PFF’s Dalton Wasserman expects to have a big day.
“The Steelers’ run defense has been very inconsistent this year,” Wasserman said on the PFF NFL Show. “It was not good at all against Cincinnati last Thursday. If the Packers can keep themselves in good down and distance situations, and not just let the Steelers’ pass rush pin their ears back, they’re at a huge advantage in this game.
