Ben Roethlisberger was looking in Chase Claypool’s direction all game and it paid off.

Rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool scored his 3rd touchdown in as many quarters off of a screen pass in the red zone. The touchdown was set up with the Steelers getting a massive gain on the ground using a reverse to Ray-Ray McCloud. Then, on first and goal after an apparent injury to Fletcher Cox, Ben would find Claypool before he runs into the endzone.

It was a simple screen. They stacked wide receivers on the left side and gave Claypool a chance to hit paydirt again. It was a simple play that went really well. Chase Claypool was going off the whole game. It was nice to see a Steelers rookie just flat out take over the game. It had been a close first half. For the Steelers to be able to get straight down the field, and then score on their first play in the red zone was comforting. It set a tone for a rapid-fire series of possessions for the Steelers starting the second half.
