Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is not quite off to his breakout season after his big contract extension. In three games thus far, he has 12 receptions for 99 yards, to which he contributed exactly one third yesterday. Against the Chargers, he caught—you guessed it—four passes on the day for 33 yards.
That is no thanks to his unfortunate drop at the end of the first half, Freiermuth’s first drop since 2022. With 19 seconds left in the second quarter, QB Justin Fields threaded a lovely ball in his direction that would have likely put the Steelers on Los Angeles’ 35 or thereabouts.
