π Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are stuck in the middle and have no long-term answer at quarterback.
"The Steelers, they're just stuck," Portnoy said.
π Former Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had a standout performance for the Cowboys in Dallas ' 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, recording nine receptions for 144 yards (16.0 average) and one touchdown.
Through 10 games, DK Metcalf has 37 catches for 551 yards (14.9 average) and five touchdowns. Pickens has 58 catches for 908 yards (15.7 average) and seven touchdowns.
π Former Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison blasted the Steelers' defensive line.
"Looking at how we're lined up, what we're doing, who has to do what, these DBs are actually going to have to tackle like linebackers. The defensive line, for the most part, is consistently getting pushed back. The defense, from me looking at it, it's no way it's gap sound," Harrison said on the Deebo & Joe podcast. "There's no way they're gapped out properly. I'm seeing things that are impossible to gap out, from how you're lined up. Just from an alignment, assignment, it is adequately trash."
π Aaron Rodgers is not the first Steelers quarterback to have suffered a left wrist injury. Terry Bradshaw playing with a broken left wrist for the last three months of the 1977 season.
π Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky thinks the Steelers offense looked better with Mason Rudolph .
"I actually thought the offense looked better once Mason Rudolph went into the football game. I think the one thing that stood out was the willingness, the ability to throw the ball down field," Orlovsky said Monday on Get Up . "That's something that this offense just does not do right now with Aaron. And when Mason Rudolph went in there, there was much more chunk, explosive, throw the ball past 10-15 yards downfield. So, and I know it's the Bengals defense, the touches to Gainwell were great. So I think if you're the Steelers, I'm not sitting here telling everybody that Mason Rudolph is Aaron Rodgers, but I don't think you're sitting there completely worried that Mason Rudolph potentially has to play, 'cause I think your offense looked better yesterday than it did with Aaron."

"A sport that was relatively not very known when I was growing up, and now to finally have (an NFL) game, it's an incredible opportunity for Spain to learn about the United States, and for the United States to learn a little about Spain."
