With the injury to Stephon Tuitt being a devastating injury that will cost him the rest of his best season, Tyson Alualu was tasked to step in and carry the load as he tried to take over for Tuitt as best as he could. Alualu answered the call to action by perhaps having his best game in a Steelers uniform as he caused havoc up front.
Alualu is a former first round pick, and he clearly has a great deal of talent, but he has never been able to put it all together to live up to the billing, but he sure did look like a former first-round pick on Sunday, and the Steelers will need that moving forward.
