The offense struggled to put points on the board tonight due to sloppy play and execution errors, but that doesn’t mean the scheme and play design was bad. I thought Arthur Smith called a solid game in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut. One example of that was the Steelers’ first touchdown of the game to Connor Heyward. He explained the success of that play after the game.

“Art has a really good play call and design down there,” Heyward said in a video posted by Steelers Live on X. Rodney [Williams] did a good job of picking and the DB’s eyes kind of were inside, and I snuck to the flat.
