Steelers Depot's Alex Kozora highlights an effective red zone play design that the Pittsburgh Steelers executed for touchdowns in both Week 5 and Week 7. The identical scheme produced a score for Pat Freiermuth against the Indianapolis Colts and another for Darnell Washington during Pittsburgh's 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Kozora explains that the play operates out of 13 personnel in an empty formation designed to counter man-blitz defenses. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers leverages matchup advantages created by the heavy package, targeting Freiermuth against linebackers or Washington against smaller cornerbacks.
