Dupree & Watt vs. Josh Allen

What a player Josh Allen has become. In his second year, he has developed into a decent quarterback.

While he has a cannon for an arm, all of the NFL knows him best for his surprising athleticism. He is undoubtedly one of the best quarterbacks who can make plays with his legs. In his rookie year, he eclipsed 90 yards rushing four times.

While he has not had the same type of numbers this year, he is still a danger with his legs. It will be up to the Steelers edge rushers to contain and collapse the pocket.

Against mobile quarterbacks, the Steelers have had some highs and lows. In the low moments, TJ & Bud simply couldn’t get the opposing signal caller under wraps and saw big plays made. In the high, the Steelers have forced game-changing turnovers.

This week, the Steelers defense will have ample opportunity to put Josh Allen on the ground. The Bills have allowed Allen to be dropped 33 times.

TJ & Bud will have to keep him in the pocket to avoid Allen making plays with his legs. With the Bills offensive line struggling in pass protection at times, this is could be a feast for the defense.
