When you talk about the most valuable Pittsburgh Steelers players during the 2024 campaign, kicker Chris Boswell is near the top of the list, if not at the top of it.
Entering the Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens, Boswell had made 23-of-24 field goals on the season, all 20 of his extra points. When the Steelers were struggling to score touchdowns earlier in the season, it was Boswell who always delivered to put points on the board.
The Steelers haven't had too many struggles finishing drives since Russell Wilson took over in Week 7, but Pittsburgh had no shortage of issues in that department against the Ravens on Sunday.
Thankfully, Boswell was in cooking in Week 11. The Steelers called on Boswell to kick a whopping six field goals in the crucial game versus the Ravens, and the veteran kicker answered the bell each time.
Boswell made one kick in the first, two in the second, a pair in the third and one more in the fourth. That last field goal in the fourth proved to be massive, as the Ravens scored a late touchdown to cut the deficit to 18-16, but failed on the two-point conversion, which ultimately helped Pittsburgh seal the win.
Following his latest outstanding performance, Boswell has scored 107 points on the season, which is just 22 less than the rest of the team COMBINED. If you take out Justin Fields' stats, he has more than the rest of the team.
Update: Boswell 107, all others aside from backup QB 96, Justin Fields 30 https://t.co/ACIx7LdYaJ

There are no words for how valuable the 33-year-old has been this season. You can certainly make the argument that he's the Steelers' Most Valuable Player through 10 games. We are definitely in that camp.
