Roethlisberger Gets Credit From Eagles HC Pederson For Audible On Steelers Late TD Pass

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a lot of great offensive players in their Sunday home win over the Philadelphia Eagles but the best one was probably the late 35-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool on a 3rd and 8 with 3:04 left in regulation time. On that play, Roethlisberger had great pre-snap recognition of what the eagles were doing defensively, and it resulted in him changing route combinations on both sides to allow him to go for the proverbial throat. He talked about that play after the game,

Actually, that’s a new formation we put in this week with Ray-Ray [McCloud] in the game, taking the back out,” Roethlisberger said.
