The performance of the offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns was a bit puzzling. The numbers looked solid overall, accounting for 368 yards of total offense, 35:02 time of possession, a 1-for-2 mark in the red zone and an average of 5.5 yards per play.
But the numbers weren’t good enough as the Steelers scored just 19 points and needed a furious fourth quarter just to get back into the game as he run game was largely inconsistent, pass protection was a mess as Cleveland’s Myles Garrett wrecked the first half as a pass rusher, and the Steelers were atrocious in short-yardage situations.
