Breaking down the lone sack the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed in their Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers.
1. 3rd and 6, 11:06. 11 personnel. Six block vs five rush
“Mug” look here from the Panthers. The good news is the Steelers did a better job of keeping their back in against these looks instead of risking unblocked ends free. I don’t know if that was situational, since this was third and fairly long, or the team correcting the issues they’ve had the past few weeks against sim pressure. So RB Jaylen Warren stays in.
Here, the line slides left and the LB pops out with the other A gap LB blitzing, likely by design (blitz the LB opposite the center slide).
