The Pittsburgh Steelers have a couple of seriously mobile quarterbacks on their schedule in back-to-back weeks who, while not identical, both run an offense in which RPOs are a staple. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is hoping that they can learn some things about how the Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa handled their rush in the face of RPOs and apply that to their next opponent.
That would be the Philadelphia Eagles, 6-0 and coming off of a bye week. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been quite a weapon thus far, and his presence adds a significant threat to the RPO game that Austin knows they have to be aware of.
