The Pittsburgh Steelers are just hours away from their dress rehearsal game against the Tennessee Titans. Here are five players all fans should be watching.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had promising performances in each of their first two preseason games. Now they are seeking their third consecutive victory in Tennessee.
Pittsburgh got the ball rolling in 2019 with a preseason victory against the Buccaneers that featured impressive performances from Mason Rudolph, Josh Dobbs, James Washington, and of course Devin Bush.
The following week, the Steelers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in a game where they were able to hold Patrick Mahomes offense in check. Pittsburgh allowed just 7 point to the Chiefs, and their defense looked dominant despite being without Devin Bush and Joe Haden.
Tonight, the Steelers are hoping for yet another promising performance from their young talents. James Washington has been the star of the offensive side of the ball this preseason for the Steelers.
But he wasn’t the only young receiver that shined. Rookie Diontae Johnson exploded against the Chiefs with a two touchdown performance (though one was called back from an iffy offensive pass interference call). He looks to leave a mark yet again.
On the defensive side of the ball, Justin Layne made big strides in his second performance – earning a 84.0 grade from Pro Football Focus last week. He received their defensive ‘Team of the Week’ honors.
Though we don’t know exactly how much playing time each Steeler is going to receive tonight. There are many things we will be watching for. Here are five players you should have your eyes glued to tonight as the Steelers take on the Titans:
