Earlier in the week, we talked about how that Pittsburgh Steelers had been successful this season when running play action. That was, however, in spite of their performance in their most recent game, which was actually a game in which they used play action more than they ordinarily do.
Just see the plays from the Cincinnati Bengals game below to see what I mean. These account for the majority of the plays on which the Steelers used a play-action pass in the game, very few of which were even completed, let alone successful. That is not because they were doomed to fail, but rather based on execution.
