The Pittsburgh Steelers have some serious problems on offense. They’ve struggled to score recently, failing to break the 20-point mark in each of their last four games. That’s why FOX Sports has the Steelers’ offense as one of the six-worst units among playoff teams.
But one of the biggest (and longest-running) issues is their struggles on first down. Steelers Depot’s Alex Kozora broke down the numbers, and they’re all bad. The Steelers are last in the league in yards per play on first down at 4.6. The Steelers average 4.0 yards per rush on first down, 27th in the league.
