What does punting from the 50 mean to you?

I bet if Pete could do it over, he wouldn't have punted.

You’ll hear that postgame

There's some logic behind it. We're a terrible team when it comes to converting short when we have to, and Pittsburgh isn't an especially explosive team. It makes sense to try to play field position in our unique circumstance of having extreme conversion troubles.

Pete is also expecting the Steelers to struggle putting together long drives. He wasn’t counting on the run D vanishing.
Now, as the game goes on, if the run D trend continues, the calculus changes.
