A week after going just 2-for-12 on third down, the Pittsburgh Steelers did a much better job earlier today in this area against the Houston Texans, finishing 8-for-18 overall, but doing a much better job as the game advanced. They also converted twice on fourth down in two attempts, plus a third time via penalty, so overall they went 11-for-18 in opportunities to extend the drive.
How did they do it? well, for one thing, they had fewer third-and-longs as the game went on than they did a week ago, but they managed to convert a couple of those as well, including a touchdown to Eric Ebron.
