STACKED’s take

Freiermuth's route stop led to Rodgers sack; illustrates execution issues.

In Week 4 against Cleveland, Freiermuth was targeted on a play-action concept where Rodgers wanted to hit him coming across the middle of the field, but the tight end stopped his route, resulting in Rodgers taking a sack. This illustrates execution and communication issues within the Steelers' offense, particularly on play-action plays that the source argues should be used more frequently (currently at 21.9%, sixth-lowest rate in the league).
