Pittsburgh needed a little, ok, a lot, of help from their defense to walk away with Wednesday’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers’ first score came via Joe Haden’s 14 yard pick six in the first quarter. Today, we’re going to break down that moment and one of the team’s empty checks against the Ravens.
Haden’s INT came on a trap coverage. A topic we’ve written about before but not in awhile so it’s worth revisiting. The idea is to bait the QB into thinking he has an easy throw into the flats. But the CB is reading the play and ready to jump any out route by the #2 receiver.
