🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers rookie outside linebacker Jack Sawyer is the winner of the 2025 NFL Way to Play Award for Week 4. This is the eighth year for the award, which recognizes NFL players who exemplify proper technique to make impactful plays.
“Jack gets a one-on-one block, but look at his posture,” Troy Vincent, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations said. “Great get off. Wonderful hand leverage. He gets inside of the tackle’s shoulder pad. Good leverage with his arms and he has this tackle on skates.
“He makes the quarterback adjust his throw. Wonderful technique, something I’ve seen before when he was at OSU. Coach Larry Johnson has taught this young man well and he’s applying it.”
Sawyer will receive a $5,000 equipment grant through USA Football to be awarded to the local youth or high school football program of his choice.

🏈 CBS Sports Cody Benjamin says the Steelers offense is fake.
“They are playing a style of offense that Rodgers, at 41 years old, surprisingly older than Joe Flacco, needs to play because he doesn’t want to get hit, can’t move with his feet anymore, can’t extend plays, he needs to get the ball out fast. When they go against better teams, ’cause I think their schedule to start the season has been very underrated easy. I think you’re going to see how much this Steelers offense is fake when you start to go against more playable defenses.”
🏈 Former Steelers nose tackle Chris Hoke says it’s time for the Steelers to get Pat Freiermuth involved.
“They’re paying those guys too much money. I mean, they’re paying Freiermuth, I think $10 million a year. So they gotta get him in the game,”Hoke said on 93.7 The Fan. “Him to play what, 15-16 percent of the snaps. Freiermuth’s not gonna be happy. So they’ve gotta find a way to get him involved in the offense.”
🏈 Jason McIntyre of FS1 said luck has been the real MVP for the Steelers.
“If we’re being honest, luck is the real MVP for the Steelers,” McIntyre said. “They got lucky that the Jets fumbled that kickoff when the Jets were dominating that game. They got lucky against the Patriots with five turnovers. And they got lucky to face Carson Wentz. Here are the quarterbacks. Steelers have beaten Justin Fields, they lost to Sam Darnold, they beat second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and they beat Carson Wentz.”
