Grading the Steelers Through the First Quarter of the Season

With four of 16 games in the books it’s time for the first of my quarterly reports. At 1-2-1 and struggling, there’s a lot to comment on when it comes to the Steelers so let’s get started.

Teams Played: @CLE 21-21, KC 37-42, @TB 30-27, BAL 14-26

OFFENSE B

Under new Offensive Coordinator Randy Fichtner the Steelers are averaging just over 25 points per game. That ranks them tenth in the NFL in scoring and in most cases would be acceptable. The problem is that the defense is giving up 29 points per game (more on them later).
