A vintage Mike Tomlin defensive performance yesterday – bend, don’t break. The Steelers saw the stars come up in big moments even if the defense wasn’t perfect. Derrick Harmon balled out in his first game. Chris said it’s a nice sign that DK Metcalf wasn’t involved much, but we haven’t heard a peep about him. Are we allowed to not be satisfied with the win?

Donny Football Debrief – Pitt is retiring Aaron Donald’s number 97 when they play Notre Dame this year. Poni says he will be in attendance. He also thinks Pitt will beat Louisville this week.

Aaron Rodgers said that he did not play well. Poni says that the Steelers should be able to rely on the defense to win them games based on how much money they have invested into it. The guys also agree that the offensive line did not play poorly yesterday.

PIT-NE Game Balls. Game ball number 3 goes to Hunter Henry for his 8-90-2 performance. TJ Watt gets game ball number 2 for his 2 sack performance. Cam Heyward gets game ball number 1 for his stellar performance.

The Steelers forced 5 turnovers against the Pats yesterday. The guys say that they feel better about the defense after this. Mullsy says that the Patriots still moved the ball against the Steelers, despite the turnovers. Poni says that it is good that Jabrill Peppers played more than Juan Thornhill because “Thornhill sucks”.

PIT-NE Plays of the Game.

The Steelers won the game in New England. It wasn’t a pretty effort, but did it make it any less than a regular win? Poni said anytime you win a game in Foxboro, it’s a big one. Chris couldn’t have disagreed more – sighting poor offense for a lot of the game getting help from the timely defense with help from 5 Patriots turnovers. Was it a satisfying win?

The Steelers barely beat the bad Jets and lost to a mediocre Seahawks team. The talent is there, so it has to be a bad scheme, right?! Our experts weigh in before Sunday’s showdown in Foxborough.
