Since Ben Roethlisberger rode off into the sunset, the Steelers have lacked that “wow” factor on offense. Their strategy of slowing the game down and winning with death by a million cuts rendered their offense boring, predictable and lazy.
While some of that can be attributed to former offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Kenny Pickett and the carousel of quarterbacks behind him didn’t exactly do much to help the cause. They were inconsistent with their accuracy, often too content with checkdowns in favor of big-play hunting.
That seems guaranteed to change in the 2024 season with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields the Steelers’ top two quarterbacks.
