We have finished up our review of every Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2020 opening drive. You already knew the results, two field goals, the only team not to find the end zone, and the individual breakdowns weren’t much prettier. Here are my final thoughts:
More Passes Than You Might Think
Was Randy Ficthner “run/run/pass” to open up the game? Not quite, even if that would’ve been the safe thing to do with poor QB play.
On the first offensive play of the game, Fichtner called nine runs and seven passes. A fair balance and the split was 7/7 until the final two weeks of the season, including a rainy Week 17 finale versus Baltimore.
