Description

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a hard-fought victory over the Detroit Lions, thanks in large part to their stifling run defense. Rookie Derrick Harmon, a first-round pick, played a pivotal role, holding the Lions top-five rushing offense to just 15 yards. Harmons impact was evident, as the Steelers allowed significantly fewer rushing yards per game when he was on the field. The rookies impressive stats, including 24 combined tackles, 2 sacks, and a fumble recovery, have fans and analysts raving. Despite missing two key outside linebackers, the Steelers run defense shone, with rookies Jack Sawyer and Alex Highsmith stepping up. With Harmon healthy, the Steelers prospects for week seventeen look promising, showcasing a young defense poised for long-term success.
