A.D. Gave His Crown of the Week to Chase Claypool In Person

Chase Claypool. Mapletron.

If you don’t know his name by now, then you better get to know it. The 6-foot-4 Notre Dame product lit Heinz Field on fire Sunday. Well, not literally, we’ll leave that to Bane.

There were more fans to see Bane destroy Heinz than were allowed at Heinz on Sunday.

Chase scored not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 (FOUR) tuddy’s on Sunday.

You may be wondering why he’s been nicknamed “Mapletron?” Great question. Although I agree he didn’t earn that nickname since he received it without playing a snap in the NFL, but it’s a combination of “Megatron” (Calvin Johnson) and “Maple” (Canada, get it? hahaha! classic.). However, Chase may have earned a least a couple “Mapletron” stripes after 7 catches for 110 yards and the aforementioned 4 tuddy’s. I was fortunate to witness the record-setting performance in person. It was the best performance I’ve ever seen with my own 2 eyes. Why was Chase’s performance so impressive, eh?

The only thing that made Chase’s performance that much sweeter, for me at least, was that it came against a bitter Pennsylvania rival in the Philadelphia Eagles. I now have bragging rights for the next 4 years over most of my family and friends who are primarily Eagles fans. Not to mention Gator and Hubb, too. Chase helped lead the Steelers to a 38-29 victory and moved the Steelers to 4-0 for the first time since 1979. Let me repeat: 4-0 for the first time since 1979. My mind was equally as blown as yours. The Steelers have had a lot of good teams over recent years and I was pretty shocked that none of those teams started 4-0.

What did the Steelers do in 1979 after they started 4-0? They won the Super Bowl.

So a congratulations is in order to Chase Claypool, aka Mapletron, for helping lead the Steelers to 4-0, 4 tuddy’s, bragging rights, and for winning A.D.’s Crown of the Week. Well deserved.
