For the first time of 2020, we’re breaking down the two sacks allowed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Week One opener against the New York Giants. If you’re new here, we break down the play, assign blame, and also take a quick look at o-line penalties at the end.
1. 1st and 10, 5:10 2nd. 12 personnel. Five block vs four rush.
Initially a two man route with both tight ends, Vance McDonald and Eric Ebron, checking and releasing. Ultimately five linemen on four pass rushers. Ben Roethlisberger looks to bail a little too quickly here, dropping his eyes and starting to run, but this is a nice rep by Lorenzo Carter (#59) against right tackle Zach Banner.
