Chase Claypool erupts with 4-TD game for unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers

  PITTSBURGH -- With the   Pittsburgh Steelers   clinging to a two-point lead in the final minutes Sunday,   Ben Roethlisberger   looked for the man who is rapidly becoming his favorite target. Just four games into his professional career, that man is  Chase Claypool . Facing third-and-8 from the  Philadelphia Eagles ' 35, Roethlisberger expected the Eagles to bring an all-out blitz. But when he saw them sitting back in a Cover 2 zone, he directed his receivers to new spots. The only problem? The group on the field, including Claypool and  Ray-Ray McCloud , had never run that play from the spots the quarterback put them in. "I've never been in that spot," Claypool said. "That's usually [tight end Eric] Ebron. I actually had to ask him what I was doing because I had one thing in mind and I wanted to make sure that was the right thing because it was a crucial point in the game." "He just told me, kind of told the whole defense, which is my fault."
