The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Chase Claypool led all players on both sidelines in receptions (8) and receiving yards (93) in Thursday night’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. You wouldn’t necessarily know it by the way that the game unfolded, however.
It started with him getting benched by the end of Pittsburgh’s first drive. By then, he had already been flagged for unnecessary roughness, very nearly lost a fumble but was saved by his shin touching the ground first, and missed an obvious block that blew a run play.
Most of what came in between was what you would want to see out of him, but he would not escape the night without further embarrassment.
