Top offensive grades:

RG David DeCastro, 75.9
WR Antonio Brown, 75.3
Offense bounces back big
After being humiliated last week in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh’s offense came roaring back with a vengeance in their return home in Week 4. WRs Sammie Coates and Antonio Brown combined to haul in 10 of 13 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns between them; Roethlisberger had a 151.3 QB rating when targeting those two alone. Both of Pittsburgh’s offensive guards cracked the top-five highest-graded Steelers’ offensive players of the night, but the entire offensive line can pat themselves on the back for the job they did in pass protection; Roethlisberger was pressured on just four dropbacks all night.
Top defensive grades:
DE Stephon Tuitt, 86.0
DE Cameron Heyward, 83.5
S Jordan Dangerfield, 78.3
CB William Gay, 78.1
OLB James Harrison, 77.2
Next men up get the job done
To absolutely stifle the Chiefs’ offense for three quarters, it took standouts from all three levels of the defense. Cameron Heyward got the three sacks, but two of them were a direct result of Stephon Tuitt applying the pressure first, as both played fantastic. Vince Williams filled in swimmingly at inside linebacker for the injured Ryan Shazier. Williams’ six run stops were the most of any player regardless of position this so far this week. In the secondary, Jordan Dangerfield saw the first action of his NFL career, playing 68 snaps at safety. He was targeted twice and allowed only one catch for 3 yards.
