As Week 12 approaches, it’s not a single Pittsburgh Steelers player who stands out as the potential axis-tilter this week; it’s an entire position group.
The Steelers’ pass rush, powered by T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and emerging star at the position in Nick Herbig, has the ability to flip this week’s matchup against the Chicago Bears entirely on its head.
For Pittsburgh, they've consistently found ways to win this fall. Ugly, explosive, wins in chaos, but nothing stabilizes their identity more consistently than their ability to heat up opposing quarterbacks. And with Caleb Williams guiding the Bears, Sunday at Soldier Field will be defined by how consistently Pittsburgh’s edge trio can disrupt his structure.
