Steelers warned not to underestimate Ravens QB Tyler Huntley

Tyler Huntley started four games for the Baltimore Ravens last season, but no performance was more disastrous than the one he had in a 16-13 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17.

But during his media availability on Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that the Huntley they’ll likely see on Sunday won’t be the same player they saw in January.

“We’re preparing to see a much better guy, a more experienced guy, a guy who has learned from that exposure,” Tomlin said. “…I imagine last year’s experience really narrowed his focus as he went into the offseason. He was able to identify tangible areas of his game he needed to improve. We’re not going to seek comfort or find comfort that we’ve been in a stadium with him before. Last year’s exposure for him, more than anything else, tells us we’ve got to be prepared for a guy that’s significantly better.”

In that Week 17 meeting, Huntley completed just 16-of-31 passes for 141 yards and two interceptions. He was sacked three times and has a season-low passer rating of 37.2.
