¥Qué manera de empezar el año!. Primer partido del 2023 y las emociones se fueron al måximo, duelo divisional en Baltimore en el que Pittsburgh Steelers estaban obligados a ganar para mantener vivas las esperanzas de obtener un lugar en la postemporada y asà fue. Domingo por la noche, todos los reflectores en el partido de prime time y la victoria fue para los Steelers 16-13 contra los Ravens.
IncreĂble partido de Najee Harris, el tao tao se aventĂł 111 yardas por tierra en 22 carreras y completĂł 2 pases, uno de ellos el touchdown que nos dio la victoria en el Ășltimo minuto del partido, ahorita llegamos a esa parte.
"Estoy orgulloso de todos los muchachos, otra semana complicada, ambiente hostil, prime time de visitantes, pero los muchachos no parpadearon" de esa manera abriĂł Coach Tomlin su conferencia de prensa ante los medios de comunicaciĂłn al final del partido.
La primera mitad fue bastante tropezada. Algo que ha sido muy comĂșn esta temporada es que nuestra ofensiva camina muy bien, avanza, y Ășltimamente ha logrado sostener series bastantes largas - la primera del partido fue de 7 minutos -, pero el problema llega en la zona roja, seguimos sin sumar touchdowns en las primeras instancias de los partidos y eso ha vuelto los partidos mĂĄs difĂciles porque en la mayorĂa jugamos a remontar y afortunadamente llevamos dos semanas en la que lo hemos logrado, puede no ser la manera mĂĄs bonita de ganar pero al final una victoria es una victoria.
Los partidos contra los Ravens suelen ser bastante peleados, golpeo duro, intensidad a tope y eso fue lo que vimos hoy por parte de Najee Harris, nuestro corredor peleĂł cada yarda, explotĂł los huecos, cago a Kenny Pickett para obtener un primero y diez crucial en el final del partido y brillo en la hora cero con ese touchdown que nos dio la ventaja con menos de un minuto de juego en el reloj.
"En esta rivalidad (contra Ravens) si logramos dominar la lĂnea de scrimmage vamos a ganar, eso fue lo que nos faltĂł en el primer partido este año contra ellos y fue lo que hicimos esta noche, corrimos muy bien y ejecutamos nuestro plan de juego", exclamĂł Najee ante los medios.
Los Steelers corrieron 198 yardas contra la defensiva de los Ravens.
Kenny Pickett podrĂa decir que pasĂł tres cuartos y medio cumpliendo con un buen partido, pero sin explosividad, con pases cortos y explotando muchĂsimo el juego terrestre. Lo que me dejĂł un gran sabor de boca fue esa Ășltima serie ofensiva en la que se vio como un veterano experimentado, plantĂĄndose, leyendo sus progresiones y soltando el brazo, buscando las trayectorias largas al centro del campo, justo atrĂĄs de los linebackers. Nuestro quarterback encontrĂł a Pat Freiermuth para 20 yardas y a Sims para 28 yardas en jugadas consecutivas justo antes de la pausa de los dos minutos con la temporada en la lĂnea.
Pickett lanzĂł 15/27 para 168 yardas y un touchdown.
La defensiva ajustĂł de manera espectacular en la segunda mitad, controlaron de manera majestuosa el juego terrestre de los Ravens y los limitaron a 3 puntos en los Ășltimos dos cuartos del juego.
T. J. Watt fue una pesadilla para la lĂnea ofensiva, a pesar de que solamente tuvo una captura en su cuenta personal, la presiĂłn que ejerciĂł toda la noche y la manera en la que aportĂł para cerrar la lĂnea defensiva es para aplaudirse.
Minkah Fitzpatrick sigue dando unos partidos increĂbles y otra vez una intercepciĂłn suya al final del partido nos asegurĂł la W.
Shoutout a Diego, fan mexicano de los Steelers que pasĂł el primer dĂa del 2023 viendo a los Steelers desde Baltimore con su novia Marianna que le va a los Ravens.
Los Steelers cerrarĂĄn la temporada regular contra los Browns el prĂłximo domingo, ya hablaremos mĂĄs sobre nuestro rival y lo que necesitamos para pasar a los playoffs durante el texto a mitad de semana.
¥Feliz año a todos!
Here we go!
