Early in the game Steeler D was closing in really quick to make surefire tackles. They anticipated that Reid would do his usual feel them out with short passes and quick hitters. But later in the game it was amazing how open our WRs were even when they knew that we abandoned the run though Smith missed a few routine throws. Did the OL suddenly start blocking well or did the coverage become soft?
I think next time we play them we should go max protect early even if it means having Kelce and Hunt in to block and take a few intermediate to deep shots to our lesser known WRs. Brady owns the Steelers because somehow his protection is awesome when they play and he is deadly accurate on medium range throws.
