Steelers defense holds Jaguars without a touchdown

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense took over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We knew the Jaguars were bad and that it was very likely the Steelers defense would show them up. But who would’ve thought they’d be held without a touchdown?

Pittsburgh limited rookie quarterback Jake Luton to 151 yards passing and picked him off four times. On the one drive the Jags made it to the red zone, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick picked off Luton.

It was Week 4 of 2019 when the Steelers last kept their opponent from the end zone in their 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Steelers’ Chase Claypool continues historic run of touchdowns scored

It’s been six decades since history has been made like Claypool is doing.

Chase Claypool only needs one. Two would be really special and three would be outstanding.

With one touchdown in today’s Steelers-Jaguars matchup, the rookie receiver will tie for third-most touchdowns through the first 10 games. Claypool’s scores currently stand at nine — seven receiving and two rushing.

Should Megatron score twice today, he’ll surpass Chicago Bears’ Harlon Hill (1954) and Houston Oilers’ Bill Groman (1960) and join Green Bay Packers’ Billy Howton (1952) with 11 touchdowns.

If Claypool finds paydirt three times (hey, we’ve seen it before), he’ll lead all rookies in touchdowns with 12.

But why rush history? Chase has seven games to make it happen.
