It’s always tough to put up a poll like this after a loss. The Pittsburgh Steelers fell flat against the New York Jets this week and honestly, there wasn’t much positive to draw from a game like this. Nevertheless, there were a few players who stepped up, did their job and played some great football.
But the question is, who was the best?
[polldaddy poll=10481783]
This really comes down to two guys on offense and two guys on defense. Offensively, it was impressive to see Mason Rudolph come in and play as well as he did. It was unfortunate he got hurt because that really turned the tide of the game.
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was the best skill player of the day. He had eight catches for 81 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. The rookie continues to lead the team in all major statistical receiving categories.
On defense you can have your pick between the two outside linebackers, T.J. Watt or Bud Dupree. Both guys had some success rushing Jets quarterback San Darnold and Watt forced yet another turnover.
Cast your vote and tell us who should be this week’s player of the game.
