9 things we learned in NFL Week 13: Eagles' defensive issues, Dak Prescott's MVP path

Every NFL team throws in an occasional clunker. The Steelers picked a poor time for theirs

The Pittsburgh Steelers are regrouping after getting drilled in an upset loss to Arizona
DECEMBER 4, 2023ASSOCIATED PRESS
Minkah Fitzpatrick - Tending to fractured handFitzpatrick sustained a fractured left hand during Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Cardinals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactDespite breaking his hand in the second quarter, Fitzpatrick played all 63 of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in Week 13. He also expects to play Thursday versus the Patriots, and he still projects as a reasonable IDP option.

Mitch Trubisky - Confirmed for Week 14 startSteelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Trubisky will start at quarterback Thursday against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactTrubisky will step in for his first start of the season as a replacement for Kenny Pickett, who exited Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals with a right high-ankle sprain and underwent surgery Monday. Though Tomlin clarified that the injury won't end Pickett's season, the second-year signal-caller is expected to miss "a couple weeks," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Trubisky could thus be in line for an additional start or two beyond Thursday's game, which features a matchup of two teams who both rank in the bottom third in the league in both points and yards per game. Though Trubisky has shown flashes of fantasy relevance in the past thanks to his scrambling ability, he hasn't been particularly impressive over roughly five quarters of work while filing in for a banged-up Pickett this season. Across those three appearances, Trubisky has completed 29 of 49 pass attempts (59.2 percent) for 273 yards (5.6 YPA), two touchdowns and two interceptions while carrying six times for 23 yards.

Jalen Thompson - Solid showing at PittsburghThompson recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win at Pittsburgh.
ImpactThompson tallied seven-plus tackles for the third game in a row and the fifth time this season in Week 13. He's actually had a down year so far compared to his past two seasons, but he'll still be on the fringe of the IDP radar after Arizona's bye in Week 14 thanks to his consistent every-down role.

Budda Baker - Has another good showingBaker recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win at Pittsburgh.
ImpactBaker posted eight-plus tackles for the fourth time in his last five games in Week 13. He's been on a tear since missing five of Arizona's first six games to start the season, and he'll be a great IDP option after the Cardinals' bye in Week 14.
