And they were obviously moving guys all game for Mixon. They gave up a couple sacks early on, but one of them was on Burrow for not just stepping up in the pocket (and hitting a wide open Chase in the back of the end zone). Overall they did a hell of a job against a top 2-3 pass rusher in the league.

I’ve been particularly impressed with Adeniji. And Prince did an admirable job filling in for Reiff.

I know it will be dismissed by many that the steelers aren't the steelers and they have been getting run on by all teams.  However, this was a game they needed.  This was a rivalry game.  They had their front guys and their LBs.  And they got absolutely *****-slapped.  The only way it could have been better was if it was a nationally televised game.

I hope Reiff is back soon, but huge props to Taylor and Pollack for developing Prince over Fred Johnson.  He has been pretty solid all year, although he is used primarily as a run blocker.  

Adeniji is a huge boost to the line because of his consistency.  He seems to be handling the position change very well.
