Three Rivers Report: Pittsburgh’s offensive line needs to continue to its strong play

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line faces a critical test as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with their performance directly tied to the team’s offensive success. According to Football Insights, the Steelers’ line has shown strong results in recent weeks, particularly against the Indianapolis Colts, where Aaron Rodgers operated under minimal pressure—ranking as the least-pressured quarterback in the NFL during Week 5.

However, individual struggles persist: Troy Fantanu has allowed the most pressures (13), hurries (7), and quarterback hits (5) on the team, while Mason McCormick has led in sacks (3) and remains a concern with 10 pressures and three additional QB hits. With two key receivers sidelined, the line’s ability to protect Rodgers and open running lanes for Jaylen Warren and Germie Bernard will be pivotal in maintaining the Steelers’ momentum toward playoff contention.
