Rookie Defenders Propel Steelers in Injury-Riddled Season
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
The Pittsburgh Steelers rookie defenders have been instrumental in their recent success, particularly in their win over the Detroit Lions. Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, and Yahya Black have filled gaps left by injuries, contributing significantly on the defensive line and edge. These rookies have made a real impact, with Harmon returning from injury to stifle the Lions rush, Sawyer holding his own with over sixty-six defensive snaps, and Black rotating in alongside Esezi Otomewo. Their stats show their contributions, with Harmon having twenty-four tackles and two sacks, Sawyer adding thirty-one tackles, one sack, and one interception, and Black leading with twenty-six tackles and two forced fumbles. The defense has desperately needed this rookie boost, and its paying off as the Steelers push forward with fortified depth.
