The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 34-12 to improve to 6-4 on the year, thanks to a dominant defensive performance in which several of Pittsburgh’s star defenders stood out. However, one name that potentially had the most significant impact on the defensive side of the football was CB James Pierre.
A core special teamer who has gotten a bigger opportunity with Darius Slay missing the game due to a concussion and has made the most of increased playing time, Pierre made six total tackles (three solo), two pass deflections, and recovered a fumble for a touchdown against the Bengals.
