The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season is now over after their 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The game did not play into the Steelers’ wheelhouse of controlling the football with the run game and holding the opposing team’s score down as they were forced to fight back from a 21-point deficit.
One big moment in the game that provided some excitement for the Steelers’ sideline was a 3rd-and-8 play made by TE Pat Freiermuth. QB Mason Rudolph evaded pressure and found Freiermuth along the left sideline. The catch was short of the line to gain for a fresh set of downs and Freiermuth trucked CB Kaiir Elam for the extra yards to convert.
