I think they had 4 or 5 completions against him including the td. but overall our pass defense was great. The Steelers only gained 240 yards on 48 pass plays, and we held Antonio Brown to fewer than 50 yards.
Our LBs gave up most of the passing yards. So Kirkpatreick was not that bad after the opening drive.
You're right, after the opening drive he improved, though I think it was mainly due to taking him off Brown (at least for awhile).
I may be too tough on him, but he just pales in comparison to most of the rest of our starters it seems.
We're so close to being the best this year, and damned if I'm not enjoying it like crazy. Of course I can't expect him to have the savvy of Adam Jones, but I want him to ....
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
