The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their first game of the season to the Indianapolis Colts last weekend, but RB Cordarrelle Patterson managed to flash on offense in his limited time on the field. Patterson left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury but provided a spark for Pittsburgh’s struggling ground game, toting the rock six times for 42 yards (7.2 YPC) while chipping in two catches for 19 yards.
THE FILM
Patterson got stuffed on his first carry of the game, but from there, it was all systems go for the veteran running back. With 8:14 left in the second quarter, Pittsburgh mounted a nine-play, 91-yard drive that Patterson headlined as Pittsburgh drove the field.
