New receivers’ coach Frisman Jackson must develop a “love of the game” mentality with his unit

The Steelers parted ways with receivers’ coach Ike Hilliard recently and replaced him with Frisman Jackson, who previously held the same position with the Carolina Panthers.

Upon hearing this news, I was reminded of a moment from the Divisional round playoff game in January between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, won 30-27 by Los Angeles on a last-second field goal. The winning kick was set up when quarterback Matthew Stafford hit receiver Cooper Kupp on a 50-yard pass play with less than 30 seconds remaining.

The throw to Kupp was what Stafford later described as a “love of the game” route.
