Since I didn't get a chance to watch the game except for seeing the score and the rare highlights during the games aired in the Tampa area, I can't really comment on this week's awards.
But for those who can...share away.

Gameballs: Jordan Berry - his consistent punting won the battle of field position over and over Ryan Shazier - 11 tackles and blowing up plays in big spots D'Angelo Williams - supplied just enough of a running game to win Ben - for engineering a drive when it was needed most
Goats: Jarvis Jones - for dropping a butterfly that hit him in his hands

Gameballs:
Jordan Berry - His punts kept the Bungles penned up in their own end.
Williams - kept the running game going while the passing game sputtered.
Shazier - dude was all over the field again.
Burns - broke up that pass in the endzone towards the end of the game.
Goats:
Jones - was invisible. Didn't do anything good, but didn't make any mistakes that cost us, missed INT noted.
Officiating - awful all around. Inconsistent is the word I would use.
Antonio Brown - rare drop, but it cost us the drive.

Gameballs: The D DW AB (because he is class) Shazier Harrison (because he is ageless)
Goats: Mike Mitchell is a dipshit and he will cost us a game with his chicken shit, dirty, attitude.

I never really did this but I'm going to give this one a shot.
Gameballs:
The defense-really surprised me and had some shut down moments.
DeAngelo- He cuts, makes em miss and runs hard every time, every down, every game.
Ben-Even though he has 2 INTS on his stat sheet, very impressed with his plays. Stepping up into the pocket and that run for a first, hes looking extra spry this year.
Goats: Jarvis Jones- Lets NOT shut up about Jarvis Jones. just not seeing what I thought he would be.
General goat-the stupid penalties.

I think it was the end of the half. I was gonna give Burns a Goat for this terrible display of tackling on Gio Bernard, but I figured the rookie gets a pass.

With the climate the way it was leading up to the game, I was shocked he didn't draw a flag on that one play where he hit the receiver well after the play.
Mike Mitchell is the current Kemo of this team. Moron who jumps in the air to hit someone in the helmet after 5 secs of the play being over. Tomlin better get on him for this. Getting to be very irritating.

Reminds me of Ryan Clark too. Clark used to dive in late and get us penalties at times.
I have to give a Gameball to the Outlaw, Jesse James too. He made a few good catches, including the one in the end zone with defenders all around him. He's still no Heath, but he is contributing.
Ben frustrated me a lot yesterday. Some of it was the ball slipping out of his hands, but some was just bad decisions. Kirkpatrick picks off a deep pass to Coates and then Ben goes right back there on I think the next series and Kirkpatrick almost picks it again. He did it again a bit later and Coates caught that one but I held my breath the whole time it was in the air.

He looked like he was pulling up and there was another play where he jumped out of the way. All in all I thought he was composed.
I agree with all of the gameballs that everyone has mentioned. Did anyone focus on our O-line closely during yesterday's game? I am just curious who you all think deserves the goat and the gameballs on our offensive line?

Piggybacking on Lokki's comments;
Good call on the game ball for Outlaw...that was a tough catch and he showed good hands.
As for the frustration with Ben...I like being unpredictable and going deep on third and short, but when you do it a lot, the element of surprise is lost.
I'd bet the Eagles coaches will be telling their CB's, "they like to go deep on third and short." "Be ready for it."
Get the first down and keep the drive going with a higher percentage pass.
He definitely was not a goat; he just continues to be a non-factor for the defense IMO. First rounders that turn out to be non-factors are usually called busts.

I haven't broken anything down, but from just watching the O line play I saw Decastro and Gilbert looking pretty dominant. Pouncey must have had a hand in limiting Geno Atkins. AV was still sloppy in pass protection, but his long arms help him out. Although, I saw one play where he made a long arm punch and then drove the rusher into the ground...fun to see him improving his punch.
To summarize, DeCastro and Gilbert gameballs........AV not quite a goat, but gets the sheep of the week award.
Jarvis Jones draws a lot of teeth gnashing from Steelers fans. But he’s played well the first two games.
Jones hasn’t recorded a sack - the Steelers have just one in two games - but he’s had some pretty good pressures and the sacks will come.
Everything else Jones has done has been pretty solid.
Don't see how Jarvis is a goat.
His 38 year old backup is a better player and more impactful to the team. That is how he is a goat. I would be hard pressed to find another 3-4 defense in the NFL where Jarvis Jones should be the starting OLB.
I was at the game and the downpour starting right before kickoff obviously was a pain
But I was surprised at the number of empty seats, the lack of noise generated by those who were there, and how many people had bailed after it got to 24-9 when the rain had pretty much quit
Ben seemed off all day but there was no crowd energy for anyone to feed off

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too, because I thought I saw Foster and Villanueva slip up here and there. Nevertheless, I must point out that overall, our O-line has made major improvements ever since Mike Munchak took over a few seasons ago. Everything seems to be finally falling into place also for our defense and special teams. I have a great feeling this season!!!!!!

When you are a Steelers linebacker, and want to live up to what that is, you make plays like Shazier and Deebo. You do not make yourself look good when you make 1 tackle in a 60 min game, as a starter and a bunch of "QB pressures".

Jones probably is the best run defense OLB on the team. He is a good rotation OLB who could help shutting down the run. Just don't expect him to make any splash play and win any one-on-one battle.
To sum up, he's a good backup.

Yup, a backup is all that he is. I watched the 2nd half again and Cedric Obuehi at RT handled him pretty much. As a pass rush all he does is bull and when they stop his initial surge, there is nothing left as Jones just jogs to the play on the other side of the field. On the front side, pretty much the same initial burst gets stopped and then he doesn't have the speed or acceleration to get to the ballcarrier or QB.
Basically, if you watch Jarvis Jones play in isolation, he shows up just a bit late after somebody else makes the tackle or the sack, because he doesn't have the speed or technique to be the one that forces the play. Look at drafting another OLB in round 1 or 2 next year.
