PITTSBURG (TNS) — For the second time this season, tight end Pat Freiermuth played fewer than 20 snaps in a game. He also wasn't targeted once in either instance, the Steelers' 26-7 loss to Buffalo on Sunday being the latest example of his disappearance from the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense.

The next time Freiermuth criticizes offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's play calling or usage, however, will be the first. kAmQ*629[ :EVD @3G:@FD=J 7CFDEC2E:?8[ 3FE 2E E96 6?5 @7 E96 52J x 92G6 4@>A=6E6 72:E9 :? pCE9FC[Q uC6:6C>FE9 D2:5 (65?6D52J] Q(6 92G6 2 8@@5 C6=2E:@?D9:A 2?5 F?56CDE2?5:?8 @7 H92E 9:D E9@F89ED H6C6 7@C E96 82>6 A=2?]Qk^Am kAmuC6:6C>FE9 A=2J65 `f D?2AD 282:?DE qF772=@[ 9:D D64@?5\=@H6DE A=2J:?8 E:>6 @7 9:D 7:G6\J62C 42C66C] w6 A=2J65 `d D?2AD :? sF3=:? :? $6AE6>36C H96?
