Claypool/Watt Trick Play Touchdown Had Been In Works For Over A Year

The Pittsburgh Steelers scored only one touchdown this past weekend in Philadelphia and it came thanks to opening up offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s bag of tricks. On fourth and goal from the one Kenny Pickett handed the ball to Chase Claypool in what seemed like a reverse, but instead of trying to get to the goal line, Claypool passed the ball to a wide open Derek Watt.

In his weekly press conference transcribed by the Steelers, Matt Canada was asked if that was a play that has been in the Steelers playbook for a while, or if it was something special he drew up specifically for the Philadelphia Eagles game.
