This is less a coverage break-down and more just forgetting a receiver is on the field. https://t.co/X6gnHTXFp0

Dear Steelers:
The guy with the 1 and 5 on his blue shirt is Chris Hogan. He is a wide receiver for the Patriots. You should defend him.

So, to be clear, Brady fumbled, there was a recovery by Pittsburgh and New England got the ball. Got it.
