The Pittsburgh Steelers intend to focus on scoring more points than their opponent -- not necessarily gaining more yards -- when they host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon.

Pittsburgh (5-3) has been outgained, based on total yards, in every game this season. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Steelers are the 34th team in NFL history to be outgained in each of their first eight games, and they are the first team in that group to boast a winning record.
