Related Topics: Connor Heyward, Arthur Smith

One drive after failing to convert on a 4th-and-1 tush push, the Pittsburgh Steelers busted out the counterpunch on the play that offensive coordinator Arthur Smith teased last week, leading to a massive splash play late in the first half from Kenneth Gainwell. It set up Jaylen Warren’s go-ahead touchdown late in the first half.

Facing another 4th and 1 late in the first half, the Steelers decided to go for it again under head coach Mike Tomlin. This time, after failing to convert on a previous tush push, the Steelers landed a major blow to the Bears.
