NFL world reacts to Chase Claypool’s dreadful start to Steelers game

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a great game so far and there is plenty of blame to go around. Some might point to Chris Boswell who missed a 49-yard field goal. Others might point to Ben Roethlisberger who has been sacked at least three times within the first two quarters.

Many people focused on Chase Claypool though. The wideout had a single catch in the first quarter but that came with a personal foul where he shoved a Vikings defender in the face mask after the catch. Then came a fumble (that would be overturned) on the only other instance he touched the ball in the first quarter.

Claypool recently was in the news for requesting music at practice to help improve the team after a string of bad games, an idea that was largely mocked not only by the public but by his teammates and head coach. Needless to say, people are growing tired of the second-year player and believe his immaturity is keeping him from realizing his potential.

Here Claypool go with that dumb azz stuff!

Claypool:

– Just about killed a drive with a taunting penalty

– Nearly fumbled on a bad situational football play

– Missed a block to kill a drive

Nightmare start.

Chase Claypool. Million dollar body. Ten cent head. Making mental mistakes like crazy.
