Film Room: Punt Block Swings Momentum (And A Victory) To Pittsburgh

Danny Smith, you beautiful man.

Ok, no one was saying that after the first half. Myself included. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ special teams were rough in the first 30 minutes. Buffalo’s Isaiah McKenzie ran back the opening kick 75 yards while Pressley Harvin could’ve, and probably should’ve, had his first ever punt blocked.

But special teams redeemed themselves. Miles Killebrew made the play of the day, blocking Matt Haack’s 4th quarter punt, recovered by Ulysees Gilbert III, who ran into the end zone for the score. It was part of a wild 14-point swing that saw the Steelers down 10-6 to go up 20-10 in mere minutes.
