2. The Steelers' defense really is that good

No one defensive player came away from this game with stats worth bragging about, but the Steelers pass rush played exceptionally well against a talented Titans' offense.

They were in Ryan Tannehill's face all afternoon, constantly breaking across the line of scrimmage and hurrying the Tennessee quarterback on six occasions. The Steelers got two sacks from TJ Watt and Vince Williams.

On top of that, they spent the afternoon chasing down Derrick Henry for minimal gain, keeping the MVP candidate under 100 yards.

All in all, not a bad afternoon's work for one of the NFL's most talented defenses, and Lamar Jackson's Ravens had better take note for next week.


1. AJ Brown seems set on making up for lost time

After missing a month due to injury, Titans receiver AJ Brown rebounded quite spectacularly into form against the Steelers.

In what was an exceptional performance, Brown went for 153 yards and averaged 25.5 yards per catch.

Surely one to consider for your fantasy team?

I'd expect to see him up against double-coverage next week versus the Ravens.
