Freiermuth hauled in five of nine targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against the Lions.
Freiermuth had scored three touchdowns across the last two games, but he failed to reach the end zone in Sunday's matchup. The rookie also committed a fumble late in overtime as the Steelers approached field-goal range. In spite of his late blunder, Freiermuth's nine targets represented his highest total of the season, even though fellow tight end Eric Ebron was active.
