Coming into the Week Eight matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Acrisure Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers knew how high-powered of an offensive attack the Jaguars had under third-year standout quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Pass catchers like wide receiver Calvin Ridley, wide receiver Christian Kirk and tight end Evan Engram were a big emphasis for the Steelers’ defense entering the matchup.
Even with that big emphasis, along with bad weather, the Steelers couldn’t figure out how to slow down Jacksonville’s passing attack. In the process, the Steelers allowed the Jaguars to make some franchise history, according to NFL Network’s James Palmer.
