Los Pittsburgh Steelers perdieron 24 - 27 ante los Indianápolis Colts en el partido de la semana 4 de la temporada regular de la NFL. Nuestro equipo perdió el invicto en un partido sumamente apretado en la segunda mitad, pero que se complicó desde que el equipo tuvo una desventaja de 14 puntos en la primera mitad.
Hablemos un poquito más sobre esa primera mitad, los Steelers no tuvieron un buen arranque, la defensiva permitió 17 puntos y un prolífico juego terrestre por parte de los Colts. No es justificación, pero el plan de la defensiva cambió sorpresivamente, Anthony Richardson, quarterback de Indy, salió lastimado y Joe Flacco entró en su lugar. Esto fue lo que comentó Mike Tomlin al respecto: "Nos preparamos toda la semana para enfrentar a Richardson y luego nos topamos con Flacco y nos tomó mucho tiempo adaptarnos en diferentes áreas."
La ofensiva en los primeros dos cuartos del partido fue inoperante, la secuencia fue despeje, 4ta oportunidad fallida, despeje, y un fumble dolorosísimo de George Pickens en zona roja después de haber recorrido 91 yardas. La última jugada del segundo cuarto fue un gol de campo de Boswell de 50 yardas.
En la segunda mitad las cosas mejoraron significativamente, el juego terrestre tuvo mucho mejor desempeño, especialmente una serie ofensiva que encabezó Cordarelle Patterson en la que promedió 7.2 yardas por acarreo en 6 oportunidades pero luego salió del partido por una lesión en el tobillo. Najee Harris también salió durante algunas jugadas después de atrapar un pase para 32 yardas y vimos el debut de Aaron Shampklin.
Justin Fields no tuvo la mejor de las tardes y aún así se las arregló para anotar por tierra en un par de ocasiones y un pase de anotación para Pat Freiermuth para acercar a los Steelers. Todavía vimos un par de errores de conexión entre Fraizer y él y un par de decisiones cuestionables al momento de alargar las jugadas, habrá que trabajar sobre eso y especialmente con la protección del balón, como él mismo señaló en conferencia de prensa tras el partido.
A darle la vuelta a la hoja y a enfocarnos en el siguiente partido en contra de los Dallas Cowboys en Acrisure Stadium y atentos a la cobertura especial que les tenemo esta semana con el evento para fans mexicanos y latinos en Pittsburgh el sábado por la tarde y rematando con el partido contra los Vaqueros el domingo por la noche.
Here we go!
