The Pittsburgh Steelers knocked off the New England Patriots on Sunday, 21-14. Thankfully for the Steelers, the defense showed up and forced five turnovers. It also sacked Patriots QB Drake Maye five times. The offense, while scoring three touchdowns, only had 203 total yards. And the tight ends only had four catches on the day between Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth.
Especially with the lack of a proven WR2, people assumed we would see plenty of targets to tight ends this year. QB Aaron Rodgers talked up the group, calling it “the best tight end room I’ve been around” in his NFL career.
