The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t play a pretty brand of football. It’s one of the reasons they’re 3-0

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin has spent the past few years almost gleefully leaning into an old-school approach that at times has seemed out of step with the modern NFL. Points: 10, though it easily could have been 13 or 17 if Tomlin hadn’t decided to have quarterback Justin Fields kneel down with the ball at the Chargers 1 in the waning moments. Left tackle Dan Moore Jr. said the offensive line could sense that the Chargers defensive front was “just done.” “That’s why we have the most physical training camp in the league, for drives like that,” tight end Pat Freiermuth said. “I think he’d like more stops on defense,” Fitzpatrick said, though it should be noted Pittsburgh has allowed an NFL-low 26 points so far. Nick Herbig thrived in Highsmith’s absence, picking up two of Pittsburgh’s five sacks.. Tomlin pulled RB Jaylen Warren in the second half because he didn’t feel Warren looked right.. Russell Wilson served as the emergency quarterback for a third straight week while he rehabs a calf injury.
