PLAYER OF THE GAME
Even in a losing effort, Steelers EDGE Nick Herbig put forth a tremendous effort, as Herbig benefitted from all the attention paid to T.J. Watt.
As a pass-rusher, Herbig finished with a team-high 26.3% pass-rush win rate, three pressures, one sack, one forced fumble and two pass-rush wins that didn't result in a pressure.
Herbig wasn't a one-trick pony either, as he made a tremendous impact against the run as well, totaling three stops and an assist.
