With Week 12 officially in the record books, the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers can now turn their preparation and focus solely on the Cincinnati Bengals. One key matchup in this AFC North divisional battle will be LT Dan Moore Jr. versus DE Trey Hendrickson, and here is how both players have performed through 11 games this season.
Moore’s performance in the first nine games of the season was solid, allowing only 2 sacks, 15 pressures, and 2 QB hits. However, in the Steelers’ last two games against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns, Moore allowed a staggering 4 sacks and 8 pressures.
Hendrickson has played outstanding football through 11 games, leading all NFL defenders with 11.5 sacks, along with 32 pressures and 12 QB hits. Moore faces a tough test in Week 13 and may need additional help with chips or double teams to prevent Hendrickson from taking down QB Russell Wilson.
Moore will look to get back on track against one of the best edge rushers 2024 has to offer in Cincinnati’s Hendrickson. This Week 13 matchup could very well decide the outcome of the contest between the Steelers and Bengals on December 1st at 1:00 PM EST.
