Coaches in the NFL are typically always about accountability. Well, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin held himself accountable for one of the biggest mistakes his defense made in the team’s 24-21 victory against the Minnesota Vikings.
While speaking to reporters Wednesday, Austin blamed himself for the busted coverage against Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison. The Minnesota wideout caught a pass down the sideline and ran for an 81-yard gain with about three minutes left in the fourth quarter.
If not for linebacker Peyton Wilson’s tremendous speed and hustle, Addison would have scored a touchdown. Wilson tackled Addison at the Steelers 1-yard line.
“I”m going to take that one. We were struggling with who was in the game,” Austin told reporters Wednesday, via Steelers Now’s Alan Saunders. “And I probably made a call that wasn’t simple enough for everybody.”
