Two times already this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense has scored in single digits. It just so happens that their opponents in those games more than quadrupled their score, making matters even worse. And they haven’t done much better scoring in the games in between, either.
Recency bias may play a factor, but many seem inclined to point to Sunday’s performance as the worst of the season for the offense, at least in the passing game. It certainly wasn’t good, though former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger didn’t totally trash the efforts. “It wasn’t awful”, he offered, on his Footbahlin podcast, throwing offensive coordinator Matt Canada a lifeline.
