Will Steelers Defense Feast on Broncos Rookie QB Bo Nix?

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s how the team’s defense can match up against Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Mike Tomlin has only lost to six rookie quarterbacks in his NFL tenure, but two of them came last year, and one came against a player that did not have an auspicious rookie season in Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

So how do the Steelers keep Nix, who struggled against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, off balance? It might look a lot different than their plan of attack against Kirk Cousins in Week 1.
