Relooking it started with Dupree pass rushing himself out of the play, and not being able to get off his block in time. (could have been a hold there) As defenders are flowing to the ball you have two or three stumbling bumbling falling over each other resulting in crashing to the ground foreplay. Can't make a play in the fetal position fellers. As you look further around the Steelers 47 yard line, Wilcox takes a bad angle, and is left flailing for air. This is where the play should have ended. Then as he continues running, a still in pursuit Haden chases him down for the tackle. Kudos to him there. I see Watt over runs the play at the end there, but you have to love the trademark pursuit and effort.

I also have to give credit the two rat O-linemen that pulled well on that play.

that was haden on the tackle from behind
 
oops my error yes Haden. Very bad remembering numbers. Corrected...
 
There was also a major hold on the play that wasn't called. Play should have been over.
 
I dont think its Dupree fault on this play. A block took out Williams and Davis who were flowing from inside on the play.

Little his fault but it was a combination of many things. Even with everything factored in Wilcox needs to make that play.

Yes maybe more physical getting off his block and yes Wilcox angle was horrible. Use the sideline son.
