Pittsburgh faces a tough Week 7 defensive unit in the New York Jets.  A major component of what makes the New York Jets' defense elite is their pair of do-it-all linebackers, C.J. Mosley and Quincy Williams.  However, the Steelers offer one of the best rushing attacks in the league, showcased by Najee Harris' amazing statistical production in Week 6.

Mosley and Williams make an unstoppable run-stopping and tackling machine for the New York Jets.  Both are playing at elite levels against the run in 2024, with the polarizing PFF giving these players grades of 75.4 for Mosley, and 75.6 for Williams.

Harris is coming off the best game of his 2024 campaign.  On a measly 14 carries, Harris produced an outstanding 104 yards of rushing and one touchdown. It would only be fair to the Steelers' running back to compare his own elite PFF grade against the New York linebackers—an amazing 90.7 in Week 6.

Fans can look forward to Harris' physical brand of football versus the run stopping abilities of Mosley and Williams in matchup that epitomizes the 'unstoppable force' meeting the 'immovable object', on October 20th, at 8:20 PM EST in Week 7.
