The Pittsburgh Steelers threw the ball downfield more in their 13-6 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2, and one reason for that was due to Clete Blakeman and his crew. QB Justin Fields said that they knew coming in that Blakeman’s crew threw the most flags for defensive pass interference last year, and so it was part of the game plan to take more shots.
“We knew coming into this game that this crew threw the most DPIs last year, so we knew that coming in and that was a big effect on taking those shots downfield.
