We’re back breaking down the two sacks given up by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 39-30 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
1. 1st and 10, 12:49 3rd. Five block against a four man rush. This is a packaged play, one of the many run/pass options Todd Haley has installed. Seven man box makes Ben Roethlisberger want to throw and with Richard Sherman bailing pre-snap, it looks like a good idea to hit Antonio Brown on the smoke screen.
But nickel defender Jeremy Lane does a nice job getting width to discourage the throw to AB while still squeezing Markus Wheaton down the seam.
