Jordan Love delivered one of the best games of his career in a primetime comeback at Pittsburgh: 29/37, 360 yards, 3 TDs, 0 sacks, 0 turnovers — and the offense committed zero penalties. Ben breaks down how quick-game timing and pocket toughness flipped the script in the second half, with Tucker Kraft (7/143/2, YAC machine), Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden all supplying explosives.
On defense, Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary headlined a pass rush that repeatedly ended drives, while Carrington Valentine stabilized the secondary. Ben also hits the concerns: RB blitz pickup, an inconsistent run D vs heavy sets, Keisean Nixon’s miscues, and special teams misses. Plus: OL health/rotation updates, why continuity could unlock an even higher ceiling for Love, and a quick look ahead to Carolina — and whether a veteran IDL (hi, Calais Campbell) still makes sense.
