Aside from the inability to score points consistently to match the modern-day NFL, and not getting good enough quarterback play in recent weeks, there’s been one key area the Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled in recently that has been a major detriment to the offense.
It’s a rather simple one, too: pre-snap alignments.
In recent weeks, the Steelers have been hit with a number of pre-snap alignment penalties, putting themselves behind the chains, making things all the more difficult for an offense that has a hard enough time moving the football.
For interim offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner, the pre-snap alignment penalties are frustrating, but the Steelers aren’t making any excuses regarding the struggles.
