Not long ago, the Steelers’ opening drives felt pointless — they may as well have just punted on the first play to get it over with. But under OC Arthur Smith, those first few plays are suddenly worth watching, and they’re producing in a big way. Just look at the first play of the game against the Cleveland Browns with a 36-yard completion to Darnell Washington.
Ben Roethlisberger was a big fan of how Smith drew that up.
“Great scheme, great play call, Arthur Smith. Awesome,” Roethlisberger said via his Footbahlin podcast on YouTube.
