It’s usually a bad sign when the first thing to talk about post-game is how well the punter played. That’s where the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves fresh off a 36-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday. Bright spots were few but included punter Corliss Waitman, impressing in his NFL debut.
Signed to the team Saturday afternoon after Pressley Harvin III was ruled out, Waitman punted twice with 58 and 63 yard boots, the latter only nerfed by a touchback that led to just a 43-yard net. For a guy brought back to the team barely more than 24 hours ago, it was an impressive showing, and Mike Tomlin said as much in his post-game presser.
