Five plays after a Tennessee Titans’ fumble by tight end Anthony Firkser that Pittsburgh Steelers’ cornerback Arthur Maulet forced, the Steelers found themselves in great field position trailing 10-0.
Looking to capitalize on the turnover, the Steelers started the ensuing offensive possession with a bang as wide receiver Chase Claypool ripped off an 18-yard run on an end-around, before tight end Pat Freiermuth hauled in an 11-yard pass two plays later, putting the Steelers in good field position.
What looked like a promising drive came to a deflating end as the Steelers’ offense stalled and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was forced to settle for a shot play on 3rd and 4 to Ray-Ray McCloud of all receivers that fell harmlessly incomplete, forcing the Steelers to settle for a 36-yard Chris Boswell field goal.
