Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-24 win in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.
WINNERS
EDGE Alex Highsmith & EDGE Jack Sawyer
Even with T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig out, Pittsburgh’s EDGE rushers held up. Highsmith has been elite against the run for the last month while giving left tackle Taylor Decker fits in the passing game. The sacks weren’t there but the pressure sure was. Sawyer impressed in his first start. He forced a fumble on RB Jahmyr Gibbs and made a goal line run stuff unblocked off the edge later in the half.
