Earlier today, EA Sports revealed the ratings for the pass rushers for the upcoming Madden 21 video game. The Pittsburgh Steelers' Twitter took issue with the top 10 and had a creative way of showing their displeasure.

The play-on-words in the message references defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt, along with linebackers TJ Watt and Bud Dupree. The three are considered some of the best in the league, and the Steelers' Twitter page thinks they deserve to be among the top-rated pass rushers in Madden.
Watt was tied for fourth in the NFL in sacks last season, recording 14.5 sacks. Dupree was close behind at ninth with 11.5. Heyward had nine sacks, which was tied for 22nd most in the league. These three, along with Tuitt, helped the Steelers stay in contention throughout the season in a year with a struggling offense, missing Ben Roethlisberger, Leveon Bell, and Antonio Brown due to various issues. Bell and Brown left after contract issues, and Big Ben would miss the majority of the season after getting injured in Week 2.
The Madden franchise has been the dominant football video game franchise for the last decade and a half. The ratings reveal every year creates a lot of hype ahead of the reveals and a lot of debate on whether the ratings are accurate after the ratings are revealed. This year there have been discussions already about various players' ratings, including Aaron Rodgers.
