The Pittsburgh Steelers under new OC Arthur Smith went 6-1 with Russell Wilson after Justin Fields posted a 4-2 record. Then, of course, they finished the regular season 0-4 with Wilson, and lost in the first round of the playoffs. How and why did things go off the rails, and what do they need to do to get back on?
Part of the reason for the disparity in result is the degree of difficulty of the games. The Steelers had a rough stretch at the end of the year, along with other internal issues complicating matters. But the offense wasn’t putting up points, either.
