The Steelers watched Packers OLB Micah Parsons wreak havoc against the Cardinals. One hopes they saw exactly what not to do against him. For some reason, Arizona decided to let LT Paris Johnson handle the highest-paid non-quarterback on his own. As a result, Parsons had a career game, recording three sacks, his highest single-game total. And he had another sack taken away after it was flagged for a hip-drop tackle.
Pittsburgh has done a better job protecting Aaron Rodgers, even against Myles Garrett. One thing they certainly did not do, however, was just tell their tackles they’re on their own.
