4 takeaways from Steelers ugly loss vs Packers in Week 4

Very few bright spots on either side of the ball for Steelers

I hate to say it, but how many Steelers players really stood out in a positive light in this game? If you watched the same Week 4 contest I did, you probably came to a similar conclusion: not many.

It seemed like most players in from Pittsburgh either showed up for the wrong reasons or were non-existent entirely. There were a few names who stood above the rest, however.

On the defensive side of the ball, I thought Melvin Ingram had another really good performance. It doesn’t seem to matter what his role is — whether he’s a starter or a backup or what alignment he is rushing from — he just seems to show up in every game. While this didn’t show up in the box score (just 1 tackle) Ingram hit Rodgers 3 times in this contest and was the only consistent source of pressure.

Offensively, I thought Diontae Johnson made the most of his looks. With a team-high 13 targets, Johnson was able to reel in 9 balls for 92 yards and a touchdown. Additionally, James Washington shined at times with Chase Claypool out in this contest and Najee Harris had by far his best rushing performance of the season (15 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown).
