More than just a few times I’ve observed Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph not pulling the trigger on pass attempts when he probably should have. In Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts the play that resulted in Rudolph being sacked in the Steelers end zone for a safety was probably another one of those times.
On the play in question, third down and 3 from the Steelers own 8-yard-line, Rudolph seemingly got an expected coverage look, cover-1 man. He motioned wide receiver Diontae Johnson in tighter to the formation as part of a bunch look presnap.
