Two Pittsburgh Steelers are among the popular picks for 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, while one analyst wonders if T.J. Watt isn’t the best player in the NFL.

 Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor commented on the Steelers’ offense. “They added a guy who has been to a Pro Bowl and a first round pick who has been successful,” Taylor said. “I don’t know what the offense is going to fully look like. … We have really smart players and will have to adjust.”

 Taylor also touched on it being Steelers Week. “Every game in this division has that feel to it. The easiest path to the playoffs is to dominate the division. You feel it from our fans,” Taylor said.
