Breaking down the lone sack the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed in Thursday night’s loss to the Cleveland Browns.
1. 3rd and 3, 5:04 4th. 11 personnel. Six blockers versus four man rush.
One of Pittsburgh’s eight failed third down conversions against the Browns. Cleveland is showing sim pressure by mugging both ILBs into the A gaps to stress the Steelers’ protection. But Pittsburgh has sick into block against a potential six man rush so they are “safe.” There’s no need to have a hot read/throw. Here’s the pre-snap blocking assignments.
Cleveland rushes just one ILB and drops out both defensive ends on the snap of the football.
