Gameball to the whole team, players and staff: keep it going, don’t let up, I’m sure the media and pundits still put the patsies and chiefs on top.

Dupree has been playing so well as of late.

Ben

Special Game Ball: Coaches. That was the most complete team effort I have seen since the Steelers beat the undefeated Eagles and Patriots back-to-back with 42 and 43 minutes of ball-possession.
Honorable Mention: Dupree. I have no idea how or why, but it seems like someone has flipped the lightswitch for him. Great to see. Better late than never. At this point, he's well on his way to earning that option the Steelers exercised on him for next yea.
Goat: Refs. I love Vance's TD, but it should have been overturned. Also, that first down later in the game was a real stretch (at this point, I think the refs were just trying to get the game over with as well).
Pouncey also had Reid by the neck.

Props to the refs as well that was the fewest flags I have ever seen for a Steelers game.
Hero: Ben
Goat: Burns (again)
hell even Bos who was struggling this year drilled a 50 yarder

Roethlisberger surpassed Eli Manning in career TD pass.
Eli has 347....350 for Ben.He is now 7th all-time in yards, TD and completion.
Game Ball to most everyone, but especially Ben.
When Ben is on a mission....He. Is. Unstoppable.

game balls all around .... EXCEPT Artie Burns ...
Benched for a few weeks for shitty play , returns to the field on special teams and gets run over then the very first play on Def screws the pooch with a big PI in the endzone for our first penalty of the game .....
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
Great game for Ben and, the whole offense o-line has been great very impressive. Tomlin as well like FS76 mentioned what a turn around cracks me after the 1-2-1 start media calling our Steelers team turmoil? LOL Then Boz makes every kick even a 50 yard FG. Pretty impressive from the Ben & the offense on a short week and, the pressure the defense was able to make Cam have a rough night great to see and, the pick six was sweet.

I will gladly acknowledge it. I was close to being in the “bust” camp.
But, he has definitely elevated his overall level of play.
You notice him more, he’s around the ball more, he’s playing with more intensity, and he’s making plays.
Here’s the disclaimer, he must play this way down the stretch with no disappearing acts.
I also concur. Swapping Watt and Dupree has elevated Dupree's game and he's starting to settle in. I think Dupree hadn't shone as the strip sack monster OLB we've become accustomed to in Pittsburgh, but even then he was productive in less flashy ways. Now he's starting to get home.

Dupree is playing better and using his hands to get the OT off him better. He isn't beating all pro LT's or anything, but he is getting QB pressures, causing pressure, holding calls and getting to the QB. Its far from Deebo and Woodley in their prime, but both Watt and Dupree are better than what its been the past few seasons. He had a good game and kudos to you for admitting it.
