- From the Press Room: Steelers at Buccaneers
- #Steelers LB Nick Herbig has done very well as a run defender from his new off-ball alignments, but he got paid $100m to rush the passer, and so far, that's been a struggle. Herbig's pressure rate from 2023-25 was 12.7% or a pressure every 7.9 snaps. This year, it's 6.4% or a pressure every 15.5 snaps.
