The Steelers haven’t been a juggernaut offense by any standard this season, ranking near the bottom of the league in multiple offensive categories. However, they have had a knack for producing some splash plays through their first five games of the season, having five pass completions go over Pittsburgh’s longest pass play from last season (31 yards). Their biggest explosive plays have come from WRs George Pickens and Calvin Austin III with Pickens catching touchdown passes of 72 and 41 yards while Austin reeled in a 71-yard touchdown reception back against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Los Angeles Rams have done a decent job defending the pass to this point of the season, ranking 13th in the league in total yards allowed and first in the league with only four touchdowns allowed in coverage.
