Tremaine Edmunds had an exceptional game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he followed up that performance with another stellar performance. Edmunds had eight tackles, with one coming in the backfield, and he broke up one of Hodges’ pass. Edmunds was an efficient tackler, and an effective blitzer disrupting the Steelers offense. Edmunds also had one of the worst penalties called against him in the game (below).

Matt Milano had a quiet game against Pittsburgh, but was efficient with his tackles and made some impressive plays in the open field. Milano was overshadowed Edmunds’ great performance. Lorenzo Alexander had a quiet game as well, he had just one tackle where he closed out the speedy Diontae Johnson.
