Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is looking for a bounce-back year this season. Last year, Freiermuth struggled with injuries and a lack of production, except for a Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals in which he caught nine passes for 120 yards.
One reason Freiermuth had a big game against the Bengals last season was how he was utilized in the middle of the field. For most of last season, Pittsburgh avoided the middle of the field like the plague, but in their Week 12 matchup against Cincinnati, the Steelers attacked it, and Freiermuth reaped the benefits.
