With the extended weekend, it’s another chance to dive into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ special teams performance against the New York Jets. As quality a job as you’ll see from a team, who hit the high notes right after Sunday night’s win. But digging back through the tape always uncovers a little bit more.
Starting with this kickoff. Watch the “stunt” the Steelers run with No. 83 TE Connor Heyward, aligned as R3 here. As the Jets field the ball, he stunts to the right a gap as LB Mark Robinson replaces him to the inside. The Jets can’t pick it up and Heyward is free downfield, making the tackle inside the 25.
