‘The Steelers Are Gonna Pepper Him’: Gruden Thinks OL Injuries Will ‘Cripple’ Chargers Against Pittsburgh

The Los Angeles Chargers are allowing pressures on a league-high 27.5 percent of their dropbacks, and that was before Joe Alt or Bobby Hart got hurt. Justin Herbert is one of the most-sacked QBs in the league this season, and now he will face the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I love the Pittsburgh Steelers in this one,” Jon Gruden said via Barstool Sports’ The Pro Football Show. “I just think the injury to Joe Alt at left tackle cripples this team. You can’t get hit as much as Herbert’s getting hit. The Steelers are gonna pepper him. They have too many good rushers.
