Steelers rookie delivers breakout performance nobody is talking about in loss

When a football game goes as poorly as it did for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, it's hard to come away with many positive takeaways. Mike Tomlin's team was manhandled in all three phases in the 31-17 blowout loss, and the defense has been under fire for its collective performance.

However, one rookie just had a breakout game against the Seattle Seahawks that is getting completely overshadowed by the team's overall incompetence in Week 2.

Jack Sawyer was called upon early and often after Alex Highsmith left the field with a high ankle sprain just 10 snaps into the game.
