Among the many things playing a factor in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 5 victory over the Denver Broncos 27-19, one was the team’s increase in getting chunk plays — plays going for large amounts of yardage that either directly resulted in points, like Diontae Johnson’s 50-yard touchdown reception, or led to an eventual touchdown or field goal.
Those plays came from throughout the offense on both the ground and in the air, but many of the most well-remembered ones came on passes from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, notably to Johnson but also to Chase Claypool, who had several of them.
