Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers | Week 4 Game Preview

Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers | Week 4 Game Preview

Trust the moment, man. Be in the moment. Play after play after play. We some dog. Let’s go. We got to hunt all today. O line D line. We control this front, man. [Applause] Break out the Guinness. What you can call it a breakfast Guinness if it makes you feel better. are guaranteed breakfastes are a thing in Dublin, Ireland, who get to see the 2-1 Pittsburgh Steelers, who looked a little more Steel Curtainlike in their most recent win, take on the 2-1 Minnesota Vikings, who looked very purple people eatersish in theirs. Browning getting chased. No chance. Oh, what a sack. What speed in first. Skull doesn’t care who’s taking snaps. They ask very little of their offense. Aaron Rodgers is going to have to really step up his game in this one. He’s scrapping with a defense that took the ball away five times alone last week. Cornerback Isaiah Rogers forced two. Took two balls to the crib. Minnesota held Cincinnati to 10 points. Oh my goodness. He runs it back for a second touchdown today. This is one of the best plays you are going to see. The secondary Rogers will try and figure out dominated Michael Pennock week two. Then followed it up by picking off Jake Browning twice. Held him to 140 yards just 5.2 22 yds per attempt. Intercepted by Matelis. Now they try and add A-Rod to their collection. Two touchdowns against New England secondary. Now has the fourth most TD passes in NFL history. Touchdown Steelers. Aaron Rogers by himself in fourth place on the all-time passing touchdowns list. Just 139 yards a week ago though, only six yards per attempt. Threw a pick for the second game in a row. In turn, the Vikings frenzy D looking at an offense that only put up 21 points last week despite their defense taking the ball away five times under 22 points backto-back weeks. Rogers intercepted by Spalain. He really threw it right to him. Steelers pass catchers slide in cold. DK Metaf scored for the second week in a row. Terrific grab. DK can put it on his highlight reel, too. What a grab. but only 32 yards. Calvin Austin and running back Jaylen Warren led the team with just 34. Not going to be easy against those purple DBs allowed. Only one pass catcher, more than 26 yards. 50 allowed to Jamar Chase. They’ll take that anytime. They expect another strong showing from that front, too. Pass rush produced a four shopping trip versus the Bengals. Andrew Van Ginkle with a pair. Browning able to get away once, but not twice. Van Ginkle. Rogers only faced pressure 16% of the time. That’s barely anything. Didn’t take a single sack on 23 pass attempts either, but he was getting rid of the ball pretty fast all game. Steelers run game also trying to find its legs. 64 rush yards on just 2.5 per run last week. Going nowhere is Gainwell gain less. Pittsburgh’s latest win in the end was a return to form for their fans in a way as this matchup features two defenses like I said coming off five takeaway performances. Steelers getting two in the end zone too helped keep New England to 14 points. The first opponent they’ve held under 30 so far. And the ball pops free and this is a bang bang play and Pittsburgh has got it. balls out. Stacked next two, a Minnesota offense that accounted for four touchdowns in their blowout win over Cincinnati. If JJ McCarthy is still out, Pittsburgh secondary taking on Carson Wentz, who threw for two TDs, 173 yards on a nice 8.7 per attempt, a rate close to 130. Get another chance to play and he plays like that again. Might we have ourselves a little QB controversy? He’s got a touchdown pass to Hawinson. Wentz understood. throw to Jedha a lot. Justin Jefferson led the team in targets. 75 yds on five catches. Complete it. It’s Jefferson breaking through. Look at Justin Jefferson. Wentz connected with TJ Hawinson for a touchdown. 49 yds. Yeah, it’s his first touchdown catch in the regular season after 15 games. Long drought for him is over. Hawk, JJ, and Jaylen Naylor accounted for 18 of Minnesota’s 24 pass attempts. Naylor just 37 yards. Pittsburgh’s secondary had the most trouble with the tight end last week giving up two touchdowns to Hunter Henry. He went for 90 yards against them. They gave up 260 plus yards to Drake May, two touchdowns a rate over 100. Is far too easy. Hunter Henry goes right down the middle of the field and there’s just nobody there. The battle up front. Pittsburgh’s pass rush rolled May up five times. Nick Herbig with one, Cam Hayward with one. DT Derek Harmon debuted and nabbed one. And TJ Watt got his first two of the year. Under a rush. Gets out of him and then hit hard from the side. He did not see Watt. They go after Wentz next. He was planted three times on 20 pass attempts. Wentz dropped for the third time. Steelers defense had some trouble with some amazed runs. Gave up 45 rush yards to him on the ground. Faced Tayvon Henderson the most often. Held him to 2.5 an attempt. That’s what Minnesota’s running back Jordan Mason is up against. He hits week four hot after scoring twice and going for 116 yards on a fat 7.3 per carry. Long was only 24 yds too. Mason racking up numbers in this second half and running into the secondary. Steelers trying to tie things up. 10 to9 Minnesota up on Pittsburgh all time. This of course a Super Bowl rematch. Hop into Mr. Peabody’s wayback machine as we travel back to the 70s. Again, in Super Bowl 9, the Steelers were simply awesome. And the Steel Curtain gave up just 17 yds rushing and 123 yds total offense. Both Super Bowl records. And Terry Branchar summoned the Steeler offense to a blood and guts victory drive. With their third straight total destruction of championship caliber competition and in their 43rd year of existence, the Steelers laid waste to the tired tagged same old Steelers. A new one now applies. The Super Steelers. [Music]
