While the Pittsburgh Steelers won their regular-season opener on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, some of the issues on offense that were present in the preseason carried over to the regular season.
The starting offense managed just one touchdown throughout nine drives in the preseason. They were held without a touchdown in their 10 drives in the regular season opener. There were still things to like on offense, but the Steelers can’t expect Chris Boswell to keep nailing field goals from 50-plus yards even if that is exactly what he did in Week 1.
Finding the end zone has been a problem for years now, and TE Pat Freiermuth knows it is time to turn that around.
