The Pittsburgh Steelers dominated the Atlanta Falcons in time of possession in Pittsburgh’s 18-10 Week 1 win, holding the ball for 35:24 compared to just 24:24 for Atlanta. Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth credited the team’s training camp for their ability to possess the ball and be better conditioned than their opponent.
“I think there was a lot of positives. The way we were able to possess the ball and move it down the field. I think that’s part of the reason why we go to Latrobe. We have such a hard training camp to prepare for the earlier parts of the season when teams are figuring out their conditioning in-stadium.
