Steelers keen to stop Allen this time around

The Steelers tried everything they had at their disposal last season to cover Keenan Allen, save not guarding him at all.

And the Chargers' star receiver beat every coverage they threw at him in Los Angeles' 33-30 come-from-behind win over the Steelers.

Allen, who finished the game with 14 receptions -- on 19 targets -- for 148 yards and a touchdown, caught six of the eight passes thrown his way for 68 yards when he had a cornerback in coverage according to the NFL's Nex Gen Stats. He caught one of two passes thrown his way with a safety in coverage, though that went for a 10-yard touchdown after the ball ricocheted off corner Joe Haden when he and safety Sean Davis collided going for the ball.
