Steelers 2017 Week 16 Special Teams Report

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a pretty strong game on special teams against the Houston Texans, and that even included a blocked extra point negated by an offside penalty that subsequently led to a successful stop on a two-point attempt.

With James Conner on injured reserve, Xavier Grimble replaced him on the kick return unit as part of the level ahead of the returners on the right flank. To give some perspective, the others on that line were L.T. Walton and Roosevelt Nix.

Darrius Heyward-Bey chased down a returner on the Texans first kick return from the back side, though he reached the 27.
