4 takeaways from Steelers 27-24 win over the Titans

Chase Claypool was not involved enough on offense

Based on his increased role and remarkable performance over his last two games, you would have thought that star rookie receiver would have been more involved in Pittsburgh’s offense, on Sunday. However, his lethal skillset was barely utilized.

Though Claypool did have a forward shovel pass that was fumbled early in the first half, he was able to recover the ball and turn a potentially massive loss into a loss of just two. What’s disappointing is that this was the only time Claypool would have a chance to touch the ball all day.

While Claypool drew coverage from the Titans best cornerback in this contest, Roethlisberger completely shut him out of the gameplan. on the rookie’s lone pass beyond the line of scrimmage, Claypool drew a big pass interference call that keeps the chains moving and resulted in a Steelers score.

With JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson combining for a whopping 29 targets in this contest, according to ESPN, you wonder if the Steelers would have had more success if Roethlisberger would have spread the ball around more.

Chase Claypool and James Washington combined for just 1 target beyond the line of scrimmage. the Steelers need to find a way to spread the ball around more on offense moving forward.
