Say it with me. Danny Smith Forever. For the second straight week, the Pittsburgh Steelers have blocked a punt. This time, it was by someone not named Miles Killebrew.
Following Killebrew’s performance last week (which technically didn’t go down in the box score as a block because the ball advanced forward), TE Connor Heyward got all of Rigoberto Sanchez’s second quarter attempt. The ball flew backwards and was recovered by rookie LB Nick Herbig. The recovery occurred at the half-yard line, setting the Steelers up in incredible field position.
Take a look at the play.
