The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense just hit a season-high 34 points against the Indianapolis Colts, and they’re averaging just over 30 points over their last three games. Jarrett Bailey and Joey Bray dropped the grades, and let me tell you, some of these guys are absolutely crushing it.
Rodgers Is Rolling, Pocket Maestro
QB Aaron Rodgers had another rock-solid performance against the Colts, going 22-of-31 for 235 yards and three touchdowns. That’s his third straight game with three or more touchdown passes, which ties a franchise record held by legends Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger. He started that game with 11 consecutive completions, which is just surgical, right? He was decisive, used the entire field, and protected the ball. What more can you ask for? Bray was super impressed with Rodgers’ pocket movement, too. Even if the Colts’ pass rush isn’t top-tier, Rodgers earned big credit for how he maneuvered. That’s an A- and an A grade, deservedly so.
Jaylen Warren Is a Bonafide Superstar
Seriously, is anyone else watching Jaylen Warren? This guy is unreal! He leads all running backs with at least 25 touches in total EPA over the last three weeks. He had a career day against the Colts, stacking up 188 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Bray even said he’s third in the entire NFL in scrimmage yards for running backs, behind only Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. This was his third consecutive game with over 100 scrimmage yards, and he’s averaging a ridiculous 5.9 yards per carry, behind only James Cook. Bray is calling him the Steelers’ best player this season, and honestly, the numbers don’t lie. His efficiency is absolutely out of this world. Those are straight A+ grades, because what else could they be?
The Other Skill Guys Stepped Up
While Warren was the best player on the field, the other skill guys had their moments too. Pat Freiermuth had a great game, snagging a pair of touchdowns, and that puts him in a tie for the most receiving touchdowns by a tight end this season. Germie Bernard also stepped in and caught six passes for 80 yards. The receiver room was a little lackluster, sure, especially with Michael Pittman Jr. out, but overall it was a strong showing from the surrounding talent. They got a solid B grade for the effort.
So, the Steelers offense is heating up at just the right time. As we head into Week 6, their momentum is undeniable. Meanwhile, the Seahawks just took a tough 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It’s a reminder that every game counts, and our guys will need to bring that same kind of offensive fire next time out.
