Let's do this!

2:01 PM: Posluszny is so hot-and-cold. He overruns gaps on running plays, but makes sacks on third downs and somehow bats down a pass to Antonio Brown. What is happening?
Oh my God that was Paul Posluszny in pass coverage. My heart.

Posluszny with a big sack, now a big pass breakup. the veteran is having a good day! Still tied at 3. #PITvsJAX

Paul Posluszny gets the sack. Didn’t bite on the pump fake at all. Forces fourth down. Secondary holds coverage too.

Jaguars force three and out. Good play by CB Alan Ball on 2nd down.

Le’Veon Bell gets five on first down, Ball makes open-field tackle for no gain on second down, bad pass by Roethlisberger on third down.
