I'm not sure if it's weird play design or if Pat Freiermuth should've stayed in to block given there's a free rusher right in Rodgers' face. The Steelers trust Freiermuth to one-on-one block a defensive end (it doesn't end well)

Negative signalRole

Freiermuth's blocking assignments questioned; route decisions cost him opportunities.

The source questions whether Pat Freiermuth should have stayed in to block given free rushers in Rodgers' face on multiple plays. The Steelers trust Freiermuth to one-on-one block a defensive end, which the source notes "doesn't end well." On another play, Freiermuth turns upfield instead of crossing Rodgers' line of sight when he might have been an option. The source also notes Freiermuth falls down when Rodgers looks to throw on another play, preventing him from being available cutting inside.
