The Steelers escaped Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers with an ugly win, so it's only fitting to give credit to the guys in the trenches.
Pittsburgh center Zach Frazier (76.0) and guard Brock Hoffman (71.2) produced the highest offensive PFF grades in the overtime victory. They finished above skill position players like Rico Dowdle (70.5), Jaylen Warren (68.3) and Germie Bernard (67.7), who dove into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.
Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (85.8) owned the best defensive grade, showing that the 37-year-old remains an impact player. The Steelers' secondary also shined in Week 6, as Jamel Dean (84.9), Jaquan Brisker (81.4) and Jalen Ramsey (76.5) helped Pittsburgh limit Tampa Bay to just 224 total yards.
