The Steelers special teams has become a major strength of the team this season. Chris Boswell has continued his tremendous Steelers career. Often times, the other two aspects of a kick don’t get enough credit. That is, the long snapper and the holder.
Christian Kuntz and Pressley Harvin have been able to hold their own as rookies. Each of them beat out veterans in the preseason to get to where they are.
The rookies have been impressively consistent, making for one of the best units in football. Coach Tomlin opted to kick a 54-yard field goal against the Bears rather than go for it on 4th-and-1.
