Najee Harris will be having nightmares about Germaine Pratt for weeks; he’ll have to take melatonin by the handful.

Harris had 4.5 ypc which was his 2nd best game all year. He's largely sucked.

Pratt stopped a couple mis-direction plays to Johnson.

His physical playing could not have come at a better time than against the steelers either

..and 0 PDs, so that may explain the 12 tackles
As to the OP:
Good game by Pratt and his twin Perine

Pratt was our best LB by far today. And that’s no easy feat when Logan Wilson is healthy and playing.

What better team to do it to... the squeelers traded 1 before us on the first round to get #1 LB prospect Devin Bush... who we were on the radar for, they took him and we ended up with Pratt... what a good player he's become, happy ending.

Bush has largely been a bust.

Harris had 90 rushing yards (2nd highest this year for him) at 4.5ypc (2nd highest this year for him), 2 rushing TD (highest this year for him), and 26 receiving yards (2nd highest this year for him).
Harris had his best game all year today, and the Steelers scored 30 points, the most they've scored all season (2nd most was 23 against the Bengals Week 1).

Helps when the refs are calling absolute nonsense on the Bengals defense all game. The phantom call on Hilton was particularly egregious. And I didn’t like the one on Flowers much better.
Not to mention the non-call on the late hit on Burrow, and missing Minkah blatantly holding Hurst’s arm on another play.
There was some serious home cooking by the officials today.

Sure, but even then the Bengals defense by no way played well today. In non-Bengals games this year, the Steelers are averaging 14.6 points per game. The Steelers had 0 TDs of 10+ yards all season, and then they got 2 today and Pickens dropped a walk-in 3rd. Pickett came into today with 2 TDs/8 INTs and the Bengals couldn't hold onto any of the couple INTs he threw.
I'm glad they got the W, they absolutely needed to go 2-0 against the Panthers/Steelers to keep their season alive, and they did. We just can't pretend the defense played well today. Pickett, Harris, and the Steelers Offense as a whole all had their best games of the year today.

The secondary wasn’t particularly good, I agree with that. I thought the front 7 got better as the game went on though.

I agree they didn't play great but i take that last Steelers drive with a grain of salt. Prevent defenses tend to pad the offensive stat book.

I would agree with the prevent reasoning if they hadn't still got burned badly and let a guy get behind them even while playing prevent. He just dropped the TD. Also even without that last TD, they still scored the most points they've scored all year. It's hard to overstate how bad that Steelers offense is against anyone other than the Bengals. 14.6 points per game against Non-Bengals teams, 26.5 points per game against the Bengals.

I'd probably have to go out on a limb and say any division game, with the history of these two teams, you can throw "against everyone else" out the window.
The D basically shut the steelers offense down in the 2nd half, except for the last meaningless drive where they were just concerned about burning the clock.
