Steelers Week 3 grades in win over Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers Week 3 grades.
The Pittsburgh Steelers delivered a strong Week 3 performance, overcoming a Week 2 stumble to earn a 30-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a standout player, finishing the game with nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns. He put together an impressive performance, with the only blemish being an interception that could have been avoided. The offensive line was also a huge contributor, with rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor and veteran Brock Hoffman leading the charge.
Running back Jaylen Warren had a stellar game, achieving a career-best 176 yards from scrimmage. Warren was on track for over 200 yards, but a holding penalty reduced his total. His performance was crucial in the absence of injured running back Ric Dowdle. Wide receiver Roman Wilson had a mixed game, showcasing several strong throws but also causing an interception. Despite his inconsistencies, Wilson remains a key part of the team.
The defense struggled at times, particularly against the Bengals' strong passing game. However, the special teams performed exceptionally well, with a roughing the kicker call extending a drive and a muffed punt recovered by Ben Skowronek, leading to a field goal. Overall, the Steelers showed significant improvement and are on track for a winning season.
