PFF Loves The O-Line On Sunday Night Performance

[Steeler Nation]

After the Pittsburgh Steelers win on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks, the entire city of Pittsburgh was in a great mood. As they should be.

A game that was exciting even through the overtime period that was capped off with a vintage field goal kick by Chris Boswell. After the game, Pro Football Focus came out with their ratings for every player of the game and the Steelers offensive line seemed to stand out.

Before I get crucified, the ratings done by PFF are their opinion and evaluation, not mine. They watch every single snap of the game and each players’ individual play. I would love to say I do the same but I am unable to, nor do I have the time. As a result, they are one of the places that I go to for data on how well players are playing. With that being said, their ratings are subjective.






Now with that disclaimer over, the ratings for the offense are extremely good looking for the majority of the offensive line. The top offensive players for the Steelers are:

TE Pat Freiermuth: 74.1 (45 snaps)
G Kevin Dotson: 70.0 (75 snaps)
WR James Washington: 69.9 (8 snaps)
G Trai Turner: 69.1 (75 snaps)
C Kendrick Green: 68.7 (75 snaps)​

As you can notice, 3/5 top rated players were offensive linemen, including rookie Kendrick Green and second year player, Kevin Dotson. This is an extremely good sign because one of the biggest, if not the biggest, question marks was the inexperienced and young offensive line. For the unit to be able to perform so well on a primetime game at home is a really good sign for the unit.






Also to note, the rookie Freiermuth played really well and his PFF rating reflects this. Also, Chase Claypool was the lowest rated offensive player at a 47.6 rating with 63 total snaps. Hopefully he will be able to bounce back next week.



Who do you think had the best performance? Do you feel any better about the offensive line or any single player after this past weekend? Let me know in the comments below!

go wormley! this offensive line along with Harris and Muth have great potential. without juju, if we go to more double tightend power formations and use more of a power run game and get the ball to muth and Harris more… this offense could go from worst to first in one season. But the key is the play calling, Talent is there Ben still has some gas left in the tank, big Dan Moore, big dot, and “al“ green at center can tip a house over they are big and fast! And haeg the backup is playing good. No excuses for this offense not to move the ball.. another case of number 1st and 2nd round draft picks all over the place and getting little out of them. coaching, coaching, coaching or lack there of.
