Confusion On Spot Led To Steelers Burning Timeout Before Disastorous Fourth-Down Play

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers Week Four loss against the Houston Texans can be summed up in one terrible, no good, very bad play call on fourth-and-one in the third quarter, which led to QB Kenny Pickett getting hurt and the team not converting the fourth-down in plus territory. It was a shotgun play without any sort of play-action despite the run game finally getting going, and it ended up being the nail in the coffin for the Steelers. Before the play, the Steelers burned a timeout, and Mike Tomlin said it was because of a discrepancy on where the spot of the ball was.
