After Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told the media that his team really didn’t make any changes defensively in the second half that included the unit pitching a shutout. Scheme-wise, that pretty much seems to be the case after going over the TV tape a few times, but that’s not to say that weren’t any changes made, because there were some.
The most notable change was the fact that cornerback Antwon Blake only appeared to play 4 or 5 total defensive snaps in the second half as fellow cornerbacks William Gay, Ross Cockrell and Brandon Boykin were on the field together for most of the second half.
