While the Pittsburgh Steelers offense made strides in 2024, there is certainly more meat on that bone. Today, I wanted to look at how passing offenses have fared through Week 17, using success rates by down, game halves, and weekly views. Let’s jump right in.
First, let’s look at early down success rates league-wide (with scrambles, kneels, spikes, and aborted/penalty plays excluded):
- First Down Pass Success = A pass that gains 40-percent or more of the needed yardage.
- Second Down Pass Success = A pass that gains 50-percent or more of the needed yardage.
