One matchup that has the ability to completely shift the Steelers' Week 2 game in their favor would be Alex Highsmith versus the Broncos' left tackle, Garett Bolles.  Highsmith is one of the most underrated edge rushers in the game, no thanks to the inclusion of T.J. Watt opposite of him, but consistently puts up great pass-rush numbers.  Bolles also has an elite player on the opposite side of him in McGlinchey, but how does he hold his own on the offensive line?

Unlike his fellow right tackle, left tackle Garett Bolles struggled mightily in his Week 1 seasonal debut.  He wasn't effective at opening up lanes in the run game, and he certainly didn't do Bo Nix any favors by keeping the pressure off him.  On 37 passing snaps, Bolles allowed a whopping five pressures.

Highsmith, who is excellent in run defense and passrush, will look to key in on his opposition's weaknesses.  The Seahawks will not be necessarily known for having an elite passrush this season, but were still able to take advantage of Bolles.  Highsmith going up against Garett Bolles this Sunday will look more like a bull in a china shop than an equal matchup.

There are few positional matchups that the Pittsburgh Steelers can lean heavily on to disrupt the football game this week, however, the Broncos' right tackle is one of those advantageous positions.  The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to add another win to their 1-0 start and fans will want to key in on matchups like this one, at 4:25 pm EST, September 15th.
