In the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Colts, second-year tight end Jesse James was held without a reception for the first time this entire season. That actually did not have to be the case, as he was targeted late in the game by Landry Jones, but he dropped what would have been a long reception, albeit a meaningless one given the game circumstances.
One game after not targeting him a single time—granted, in a game in which he attempted just 20 passes—Ben Roethlisberger quickly came back to the player who had been filling in as his top tight end all season—and he dropped that pass.
