Over the course of the first five games of the season, second-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates reeled in 19 receptions for 421 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 22.2 yards per reception in what was beginning to look like a breakout year of sorts, filling a void that the team had due to injuries and suspensions at the wide receiver position.
Over the course of the last two games, Coates has one reception for four yards on six targets, including an offensive pass interference penalty and an interception on passes thrown in this direction.
