I thought our OL did a complete 180 against the Steeler's DL and blitzing yesterday.
Watt is an absolute beast, but I thought Collins did a great job on him overall. The pick by Watt was just a great play by a great player.
We scored a ton of points against a defense that abused us in week 1.
I would love to see the OL PFF scores in week 1 versus week 11. We also had some great down field blocking on the Perrine TD's.

Somewhere I saw Collins had a pass pro rating in the 40s which didn't make a lot of sense. Then again ratings don't take in to consideration who you are playing against. I thought he handled Watt about as well as someone can.

Yes, and it seems Collins is playing better with each passing week. This line could be pretty damn good down the stretch and be absolutely humming by next season.

This OL IS PLAYING MUCH better.I’m getting excited for this final run into the playoffs,particularly because of this improved OL play.It appears this OL is finally getting it together.And if they keep improving,then I don’t think there’s any team out there that can stop us from a SB run.
Also,Joe Burrow is playing at the top of his game right now.Just looks super confident,and has that swag back.

The O-line is certainly playing much better
but also credit this to Burrow getting rid of the ball much quicker lately in lieu of trying to wait the HR throws to open up.
Impressed by Burrow's transition into this style per not many QB's can process it this quickly without making huge mistakes.
Brady was really good at this actually and Burrow picked it up on the fly it seems.
