AsĂ como existen victorias agridulces, hay derrotas que dejan un buen sabor de boca. Los Steelers descansaron a varios titulares clave y aĂșn asĂ fueron competitivos en contra de un equipo al que enfrentarĂĄn la siguiente semana en la ronda de Wildcard, aunque en circunstancias diferentes.
Pittsburgh casi remonta una desventaja de 24-9 en el Ășltimo cuarto y eso tiene un gran mĂ©rito. Lo interesante serĂĄ saber cĂłmo va a evolucionar este equipo la siguiente semana en contra del mismo rival. Esto es lo mĂĄs destacado del juego:
Mason Rudolph tuvo una buena actuaciĂłn
El QB suplente de los Steelers tuvo una buena actuaciĂłn en contra de una defensiva agresiva. SĂłlo recibiĂł una captura, logrĂł 315 yardas por pase y dos anotaciones. Los Steelers tuvieron nueve series ofensivas en este partido y sĂłlo una fue de 3 jugadas. Tres de esas series terminaron en anotaciĂłn (3 FG y 2 TD) y sĂłlo cometiĂł una entrega de balĂłn.
Hubo un pequeño avance en el ataque terrestre
Los Steelers promediaron 4.3 yardas por acarreo, por mucho la mejor actuaciĂłn en varias semanas. Si bien sĂłlo fueron 85 yardas por la vĂa terrestre y 20 llegaron en jugadas con Joshua Dobbs, James Conner fue mĂĄs efectivo que en otras ocasiones, aunque sigue siendo una ĂĄrea de oportunidad para este equipoÂ
¿En qué se puede mejorar?
La defensiva por tierra sigue fallando
Los Browns impusieron su voluntad en el juego terrestre. El equipo de Kevin Stefansky logrĂł 192 yardas en tan sĂłlo 31 acarreos y Nick Chubb hizo ver mal a esta defensiva con una escapada de 47 yardas. En general Cleveland tuvo 6.2 yardas por acarreo y hasta Baker Mayfield aprovechĂł algunos espacios para ganar yardas con sus piernas.
Lo mĂĄs probable es que la siguiente semana Chubb tenga mucho mĂĄs de los 14 acarreos que vimos el dĂa de hoy.
El momento clave del partido
El pase a Chase Claypool en cuarta oportunidad
Cuarta y 10 abajo por 15 puntos con 10:13 por jugar. Los Steelers necesitaban una jugada que revitalizara al equipo y fue un pase profundo para Chase Claypool de 28 yardas que terminĂł en la zona de anotaciĂłn. Esa jugada reanimo por completo al equipo y estuvo a punto de ser el catalizador para el empate.
El MVP del juego
Mason Rudolph - QB
El partido era una prueba para ver si Mason Rudolph es un proyecto para seguir desarrollando y creo que los resultados fueron bastante positivos, sobre todo en el Ășltimo cuarto. Lo que mĂĄs me gustĂł fue su capacidad de conectar pases profundos bajo presiĂłn y poder sobreponerse a una intercepciĂłn con dos series de TD consecutivas.
ConclusionesÂ
Creo que los Steelers mostraron cosas muy interesantes rumbo a su primer juego de Playoffs desde 2017. La defensiva continuĂł presionando al QB a pesar de no contar con hombres clave, se mostrĂł que este ataque es peligroso en pases profundos y tambiĂ©n hubo una mejorĂa en la ofensiva terrestre.
Sin embargo los Browns no deberĂan ser tomados a la ligera, sobre todo por que pueden correr bien el balĂłn. El juego serĂĄ en Pittsburgh y ya estaremos hablando de ese partido durante la semana.
