The Pittsburgh Steelers have the third-fewest passing yards thus far through two games of the 2024 NFL season. That doesn’t necessarily mean they have among the worst passing games, as they also have the third-fewest attempts. But it sure doesn’t look great if you take No. 1 WR George Pickens and his 114 yards out of the equation.
And it continues to look worse and worse if you isolate just the wide receiver group minus Pickens. Take out the 66 yards from TE Pat Freiermuth or Darnell Washington’s touchdown, and you don’t have much left. Between Scotty Miller, Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, and Calvin Austin III, Steelers wide receivers not named George have five catches on nine targets for 28 yards.
