You would think and hope that with those tactics in place - and expected by opposing defenses - that the Steelers could add some wrinkles and run a vertical passing play or two with success. They surely had set the table with the horizontal game to at least try a downfield throw.I don’t know why anyone is surprised with that, that’s Matt Canada‘s system. He likes to force teams to defend the field horizontally. His offense is quick stuff outside with passes, jet sweeps, and then dives to keep them honest in the middle.
