How will the Steelers do against Kyler Murray?

The Steelers were able to contain Kyler Murray and that helped them beat the Cardinals. They were able to stop him from running and they were able to take the ball away from him. Those were the keys to beating him.

According to Pro Football Reference, Kyler Murray was 20 for 30 for 194 yards. He also threw two touchdowns but that was suppressed by the three interceptions he threw. Overall, it wasn’t a good day for the rookie quarterback.

Will the Steelers be okay without JuJu?

Pittsburgh ended up winning so that overshadows the weak wide receiver play from this team. Diontae Johnson had a good game but his best contribution was a punt return for a touchdown.

James Washington was second in receiving. He did catch everything that was thrown his way but didn’t have a lot of receiving yards. He had 33 yards receiving on the day which is a disappointment for a receiver who was drafted in the second round and is a second-year player.
