Mike Macdonald continues to find cool ways to scheme up a pass rush
With the Steelers finally on the move in the second quarter, Macdonald fooled them, dropping a pair of interior linemen into coverage and sending cornerback Arthur Maulet torpedoing at Pickett from his blind side. That schemed sack, a Ravens specialty this year, erased a rare scoring opportunity for a struggling offense.
The Steelers again moved into Ravens territory as the third quarter bled into the fourth. Again, Macdonald pulled the right trick from his bag. Pickett dropped back on third-and-7 and saw linebackers Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith stunt in front of him, only for defensive tackle Justin Madubuike to come looping around Queen into a clear rush lane.
