Steelers @ Redskins: What to watch for
By Justin Roem
Next man up
After Antonio Brown, the Steelers are missing most of their offensive fire power. Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant are missing time due to suspensions. Ladarius Green and Markus Wheaton are out due to injury.
Anyone that watched the 2015 season knows backup running back DeAngelo Williams was up to the task of being the Steelers’ starter, but Williams is on the wrong side of 30 and coming off of an injury. There are also plenty of questions regarding the tight end and receiver positions.
Slot receiver Eli Rogers looks to build on a strong preseason. Sammie Coates looks to become a consistent contributor after a rocky one. Jesse James might not be the flashy down field threat that Green is, but he has improved so far in his short career and could be a red zone threat.
If the Redskins focus on limiting Brown, these players will have a great impact on the outcome of the game–win or lose.
