Despite only scoring 16 points in their Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, there’s little doubt that the Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked as good as it has all season. In the week ahead of the game, Pittsburgh moved on from offensive coordinator Matt Canada, and while there any real major tweaks with Mike Sullivan as the offensive play-caller, one thing that was evident was that QB Kenny Pickett wasn’t afraid to push the ball downfield.
Former NFL quarterback and current analyst Chris Simms credited the aggressiveness of Pittsburgh’s offense and improved offensive line play as reasons why the unit was able to put up a season-high 421 yards.
