The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t get off the field on third or fourth downs against the New England Patriots in Week 3. The Patriots converted 6-13 third downs and 4-5 fourth downs, and a lot of their fourth-down success was due to getting close to the sticks on third down. During New England’s 17-play drive at the end of the first half, they turned a 3rd and 12 into a 4th and 1 which they converted, converted a 3rd and 10, a 3rd and 13, and a 3rd and 5. On his Not Just Football podcast, Steelers DL Cam Heyward emphasized the need to get better on money downs.
