Queen finished the 2024 season with 129 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games with Pittsburgh. After spending the first four seasons of his career with Baltimore, Queen signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the division-rival Steelers last offseason and went on to start all 17 regular-season contests. Queen has yet to miss a game or a start since entering the NFL in 2020, a streak that has spanned 84 contests. Queen's 129 tackles marked the second-highest single-season total of his career. Queen is signed through the 2026 campaign.
Queen recorded seven total tackles (five solo) in Wednesday's 29-10 loss to the Chiefs. Despite Queen recording his lowest tackle total since the Steelers' Week 12 loss to the Browns, he still tied Minkah Fitzpatrick as the team's leading tackler Wednesday. Queen, a first-year Steeler, has now recorded a team-leading 124 total tackles, six passes defended and one forced fumble over 16 appearances this season. He'll aim to continue disrupting opposing offenses in Week 18, when the Steelers host the Bengals.
Queen finished Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore with eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defense. Queen has logged at least seven combined tackles in the Steelers' seven games since the Week 9 bye, and he has played every single defensive snap in six of those contests. Over that span, the 2020 first-round pick has accumulated 62 tackles (30 solo), four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Queen is up to 117 combines tackles through 15 regular-season games, and he is 16 tackles shy from matching his career-best output from the 2023 regular season (133). Queen and the Steelers will head back to Pittsburgh to host Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Christmas Day.
Queen recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' loss to the Eagles on Sunday. Queen played all 80 defensive snaps versus Philadelphia, and his 11 tackles were the second-most Queen has recorded in a game this season. Queen has missed just two defensive snaps all season and has logged 109 tackles (53 solo), five pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 14 contests.
Queen recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns. The inside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the 11th time in 13 games. Queen has 98 tackles (47 solo) in his first campaign with the Steelers, and he's probably a game away from his fourth 100-stop output in five pro seasons. The former Raven also has five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Queen recorded seven tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 24-19 loss at Cleveland. Queen paced Pittsburgh's linebackers in snaps again in Week 12, and he posted seven-plus tackles for the eighth time in his last nine games. He profiles as a reasonable IDP option in most formats heading into a Week 13 tilt at Cincinnati.
Queen recorded 10 tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Ravens on Sunday. Queen was dominant in his first game versus his former team as he forced a turnover in addition to being Pittsburgh's leading tackles. The 2020 first-round has now racked up 72 tackles (36 solo) across the first ten games of the season and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 12 game versus the Browns.
Queen recorded seven tackles (six solo), including two tackles for a loss and a pass defensed, in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. The inside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the eighth time in nine games. Queen, who signed a three-year, $41-million contract in March, has 62 tackles (33 solo) and three pass breakups in 2024.
Queen recorded 13 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. Queen is heating up with 37 tackles (18 solo) over the last four games. The 2020 first-round pick posted at least 98 tackles in each of his first four seasons in the league, including a career-best 133 stops last year. He'll remain an excellent IDP option moving forward.
