The Steelers were stuck at 4th and 39

The Pittsburgh Steelers set a season record on Sunday night: The longest distance needed for a first down. Yes, that isn’t a typo, they needed 39 yards to convert on fourth down. How does a team reach this point? Well it’s simple, completely fail to block for your QB.
