If there was ever a game to sum up WR Chase Claypool, it was Thursday night’s performance. The highs make you want to smile ear to ear. The lows make you want to want to flip off your TV. Claypool had an abysmal first half and showed a low football IQ throughout the game, starting with a personal foul penalty after sticking his hand in a Vikings defender’s facemask.
Claypool was taken off the field and after the game, Mike Tomlin confirmed he briefly benched him.
“I did,” Tomlin told reporters via Steelers.com when asked if Tomlin had an intentional benching after the penalty.
