Joe Haden didn’t play a great game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. But he made its biggest play. 4th and 6, up six, less than a minute to go. Get a stop here and the Steelers’ win. That’s exactly what Haden did.
Let’s break it down.
Titans in a 3×1 formation with a “sniffer” in the backfield, the RB lined up close to the line of scrimmage to combat Marcus Allen’s pressure look. To the top and trips side, it’s a spacing concept with #3 running a seven yard dig, #2 becoming new #1 (most outside wide receiver) and #1 running a five yard curl.
