Is that Jason Gildon out there, number 90?

5 of 6 on third down.
Steelers have been mostly winning 1st and 2nd downs.

7 yards per rush up the gut on early downs is going to kill you every time

Texans clearly watched the Bills game and took notes.

Outside of the 6+ yards on first down runs they've given up like 5 times so far.

There are some serious holes for these guys to run through, they have more than they can use.

That was an interception 2 times in a row! Niko’s catch was interception too!
I think he was down by contact.
He never had the ball on the way down.

That 6th ol. That came in #57..
Hell of a block on that run around right.
Interesting formation as he was lined up almost in slot.
With TE in HB spot between RT and 57
Nice play design

Sooooo Fury Brain Trust...

What changed on this drive that they've been able to run it against our D so we'll? Other than Q1 last week with Henry, they've been pretty good against the run since the Bills fiasco.

Is it scheme, different personnel or something else?
