Edge rusher Alex Highsmith led the way for the Steelers, racking up 0.5 sacks and proving his value as a key player for the team. Wide receiver DK Metcalf, however, struggled mightily, collecting only four receiving yards on six targets, which highlights the need for the Steelers to find a new playmaker. Running back Rico Dowdle faced some challenges in the box score but made an impact with key explosive runs in the first half, signaling his continued recovery from injury. The Steelers' red zone defense was solid, allowing no touchdowns against the Browns, while their pass rush, led by Highsmith, T.J.
