There are many ways in which you can argue that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been having perhaps their greatest offensive season in franchise history. Their points per game, with one left to play, is the highest it’s ever been, their red zone efficiency is through the roof, and individual players have been setting records seemingly left and right.
That doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t end in wins, however. That’s the approach that new offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner is taking toward the end of his first year on the job. The Steelers have only won eight games, along with a tie, meaning that they have failed to score more than the other team seven times out of 15 opportunities.
