Practice is the part of the week we can’t see. But to Keith Butler, it played a role in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ allowing 35 points to the Oakland Raiders Sunday.
“We weren’t as sharp mentally as we should have been,” Butler told Missi Matthews in the weekly Coordinator’s Corner segment. “Some of that was, we put some stuff in, ran it a few times, and had to redo it a couple times on the practice field to make sure we got it right. Usually when you do that, you’re not as focused as you should be.
