The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Tampa Bay on Sunday, hoping to continue their winning ways as they march toward a postseason berth. The offense is down two receivers, but Jaylen Warren has been excellent, and Germie Bernard has a huge opportunity. Aaron Rodgers will look to get the ball out quickly as usual, which helps out the offensive line, right?

What about the Steelers offensive line so far in 2026? According to Football Insights, the highest offensive line positions in allowed pressure percentages

are left tackle (21.7%), right guard (20%), and right tackle (21.7%). Now, the chart also assigns blame to the quarterback (15%) and others, which are tight ends or running backs, in blitz pickup (8.3%).

Troy Fantanu has allowed 13 pressures (team-high), seven hurries (team-high), five QB hits, and a sack. Meanwhile, Mason McCormick has allowed ten pressures (second most), four hurries, three QB hits, and a team-high three sacks. Now, the Steelers’ offensive line had a great outing against the Colts, as Aaron Rodgers was the least-pressured quarterback in the league in Week 5. Should Pittsburgh want to keep getting the results from their offense we saw Sunday, they will need that type of play to continue.
