Paces team with 58 yards
Pittman caught all three of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.
While Pittman was sixth on the team with three targets, seeing just a 7.5 percent target share on Aaron Rodgers' 40 throws, the newest Steelers wideout paced the team with his 58 yards. Rodgers dropped back to pass 42 times against Atlanta, and Pittman's 39 routes were second on the team behind DK Metcalf's 42. Pittman's ability closer to the line of scrimmage as a possession wideout aligns better with Rodgers, who likes to work the ball out quickly. Pittman will have a tough date with the Patriots next Sunday.
