The Pittsburgh Steelers got pummeled by the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night, losing the game 42-21 in a laugher. Much like the Week 16 matchup, the offense failed to get anything going early in the game, only seeing success after the Chiefs built up a big league into the second half, allowing Pittsburgh to get small chucks of yardage while defending the big play. This isn’t to say that Pittsburgh didn’t take their shots downfield, but rather that they failed to connect to make an explosive play.
WR #11 Chase Claypool was drafted in the second-round last year to be that receiver that Pittsburgh was lacking, a height/weight/speed specimen with the size and athleticism to win combative catches down the field and beat defensive backs in man coverage to produce explosive plays in the passing game.
