Week 9 PFF Grades: Familiar Duo Leads The Way

The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the previously 7-1 Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, and a big reason was the success of the team’s pass-rush and their ability to force turnovers. The Steelers had five sacks, and of those five sacks, two were strip sacks, while the defense also got an interception off a deflection. Both T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith were integral to Pittsburgh’s success, and it’s no surprise that the two of them were the highest-graded players on the team by PFF. Offensively, it was another strong day for Aaron Rodgers, although it was Darnell Washington who was the highest-graded offensive player.
