English term or phrase: picked up steam
Dear all, the sentence is a part of a text about a football match: The Americans, who hadn't played for several months, looked rusty early, particularly on defense, but picked up steam as the game went on.
I am not sure about the meaning of "to pick up steam" in this sentence.
