CBS Sports Assigns Steelers An Impressive Grade For Performance Against Lions

The Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated a significant victory on Sunday, overcoming the Detroit Lions 29-24.

Pittsburgh performed strongly on both sides of the ball, and CBS Sports’ John Breech awarded the Steelers a “B+” for their performance.

“The Steelers’ offense finally seems to be clicking,” Breech wrote on Monday. “For the first time this year, the Steelers topped the 400-yard mark, and they were led by a rushing attack that went off for 230 yards, the team’s highest rushing total in eight years. Jaylen Warren averaged an absurd 10.2 yards per carry on his way to 143 yards.

“With the run game working, that opened things up for Aaron Rodgers, who looked solid while throwing for 266 yards. Defensively, the Steelers held one of the NFL’s best rushing attacks to just 15 yards. With three straight wins, the Steelers (9-6) are getting hot at the right time, and they’ve now taken one giant step closer toward clinching the AFC North title.”

Many people underestimated the Steelers in their game against the Lions, but they proved many critics wrong, just as they have been doing over the past few weeks.

The Steelers will be a tough opponent in the postseason if they hold on to the AFC North title.
