Pat Freiermuth Calls OT Fumble ‘Toughest Experienced I’ve Faced’, Says He Played Timid For Weeks After

Pat Freirmuth’s seven touchdowns last season tied a Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end record. It was also the second-most touchdowns ever caught by a tight end in a single season in team history, off the ball of a 60-reception, 497-yard stat line.

Yet he probably remembers his first fumble as well or better than he does his first score. It came at the end of overtime against the Detroit Lions, on a reception that otherwise would have set the team up for a potential game-winning field goal. He spoke about that moment among many other topics in a wide-ranging interview with Adam Breneman on the Breneman Shows Up show.
