The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a hot start at 2-0. However, their offense has been anything but hot in those two wins. New offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense has only generated one touchdown, a 5-yard pass from QB Justin Fields to TE Darnell Washington. Otherwise, it’s been K Chris Boswell who is putting points on the board.
So what’s going on? Why is Smith’s new offense putting up numbers that are reminiscent of former OC Matt Canada’s offense? Has Smith forgotten how to engineer touchdown drives? Or are the Steelers being intentionally conservative under head coach Mike Tomlin?
