The Pittsburgh Steelers now sit at 3-1 through Week 4. Unfortunately, the run game and defense were unable to pull their weight, contributing to an early 17-point hole the team was almost, but unable to recover from in a 27-24 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts. Stripped of their identity required more from the passing game, which I’ll break down in this article.
Couple of notes before we jump in. Thanks to Thomas Mock for his great work that helped me learn much of what I’m using in the series visually. Spikes and clear throwaways are removed due to being the correct situational decision, along with bats at the line of scrimmage.
