ブロデリック・ジョーンズの重傷を受け、ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズはトロイ・ファウタヌをレフトタックルへコンバートした。この配置転換により、オフェンシブラインの左サイドで、ガードのメイソン・マコーミックと再びコンビを組むことになる。
この変更は、当初ジョーンズの代役を務めていたディラン・クックの後に実施された。マイク・マッカーシーHCは、ファウタヌとクックのポジションを入れ替えた。スポーツディレクターのジェフ・ハスホーン氏は、ラジオ局「93.7 The Fan」への出演時、ファウタヌの成長について言及した。ハスホーン氏は、対人戦ではないため評価は難しいとしつつも、フットワークに違和感は見られないと評価した。
