A year ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense struggled through the first half of the season. The youngest offense in football with plenty of new and moving pieces, most notably at quarterback, the unit struggled with the fundamentals. Being assignment sound. Avoiding penalties. Taking care of the football. They were an incohesive mess and the results told that story. For the first eight weeks, the Steelers averaged just 15 points per game. From there, they got better, found their footing, and played like a collection instead of a bunch of individuals.
My concern is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense could find themselves in the same situation in 2023.
