Sack Breakdown: Steelers Vs Patriots

Just one sack allowed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their opening loss to the New England Patriots. But like we’ll do for every sack given up this season, we’ll break it down and assign blame.

1. 1st & Goal, 11:58 3rd. 11 personnel. Five block vs three rush.

This is the definition of a coverage sack and certainly not one I’m going to put on the offensive line. Not all sacks are created equal, the o-line isn’t always responsible for them, and that’s why we break this down in the way we do.
