Anyone who has watched the Steelers’ offense over the first three games of the 2021 season doesn’t need a slew of numbers to explain how bad they’ve been. The eye test has spoken volumes. Still, the numbers are instructive. Here are a few:
- The Steelers have scored just 50 points this season for an average of 16.7 points per game, third worst in the AFC.
- Discounting a stretch in the second half of the Buffalo game where the offense got hot and scored on four consecutive possessions, the Steelers have produced points on just 5 of 29 drives (17%).
