Steelers 16 - Bengals 1035 yard middle finger up the middle of the field to Pat Friermuth, Offensive process was visibly vastly more effective than it's been at any other point during the 2023 season.Kenny & Najee had massively redemptive gamesStrategically, the middle of the field was targeted to a dramatically higher degree (7 completions) with 2 deep completions (1 to each side), AND there was finally a successful screen passMuth carved up the middle of the field for over 100 yards after only accumulating 60 yards TOTAL in weeks 1-5George Pickens was still underutilizedDionte had a nightmare Dionte gameTHIS is the Kenny we expected to see after the preseasonThis Canada issue was largely caused by Mike Tomlin (we assume) sticking by Canada, but the fact that the team mostly kept its mouth shut throughout the drawn-out process is a testament to what an insanely tight ship he runsHit us up on X at: @Steelersoutpost Shoot us an email at Steelersoutpost@gmail.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
