Los Pittsburgh Steelers perdieron 27-13 ante los Philadelphia Eagles en la batalla de Pennsylvania de la semana 15 de la temporada regular de la NFL. Los Steelers no encontraron ritmo a la ofensiva y cometieron castigos costosos de los que no se pudieron reponer.
"No coacheamos ni jugamos de la manera que nos hubiera gustado. Es una línea muy delgada cuando juegas en este nivel, si ves el partido cometimos un castigo que nos hizo conformamos con tres puntos, entregamos el balón, hubo varias tacleadas que no pudimos concretar. Son cosas fundamentales, nada místico, tenemos que jugar disciplinado, cuidar el balón, taclear, cosas que no hicimos esta noche para asegurar la victoria"; palabras de Mike Tomlin en conferencia de prensa tras el partido.
Los Steelers pudieron frenar a Saquon Barkley, quien no tuvo una buena tarde, pero quién sí jugó muy bien fue Jalen Hurts, quién conectó 25/32 para 290 yardas y dos pases de anotación.
La diferencia más grande y la falta de ritmo se explica por la poca capacidad de nuestra ofensiva para correr el balón. Najee Harris fue el líder por tierra de los Steelers con apenas 14 yardas en 6 acarreos. El total del juego terrestre la tarde del domingo fue de 56 yardas en 17 carreras entre todo el equipo.
La defensiva logró mantenernos en el partido, T.J. Watt registró dos sacks y provocó un balón suelto pero no pudo terminar el partido por una lesión en el tobillo. Alex Highsmith también se llevó su captura sobre Hurts la tarde del domingo.
El único touchdown de los Steelers llegó en un pase corto de Wilson a Pat Freiermuth, quien lleva tres partidos de manera consecutiva con una anotación.
A pesar de la derrota los Steelers se mantienen como líderes de la división norte de la Conferencia Americana y la próxima semana se enfrentarán a Ravens en un duelo divisional bravísimo que puede marcar la diferencia sobre el liderato de la división en las últimas tres semanas de la temporada regular.
Queda mucho futbol americano por jugar.
Here we go!
